Smart dog?
Based on a very small sample, I've always thought that Italian
Greyhounds were pretty smart dogs. Last Christmas I got a couple of those puzzle toys that have little stuffed birds, bees, etc. that the dog is supposed to pull out of a hole in the accompanying birdhouse, beehive or cube. The box contains instructions on teaching your dog to use the toy, and I showed Teddy where the little stuffies go all of once before he gleefully removed them himself. Now, of course, he shreds all stuffed toys and the only stuffed-type toys I can give him are Tuffies rated 8 or above. Anyway, the other day Teddy did something that reminded me of Tasha years ago, when she wanted a drink of water but didn't want to put her rawhide down in case one of the other (2 at the time) dogs might steal it - she dropped it into the water bowl, drank, dunked her nose in and picked up the rawhide, and off she went. So we were making blueberry pancakes the other morning, and a blueberry fell into the dogs' water bowl. It was pointed out to various dogs several times, and finally Teddy retrieved it. Judging by the bubbles his little schnoz made, he exhaled while dunking his nose underwater for the blueberry. It's no wonder he's such an entertaining/exhausting dog. Mustang Sally |
