Dogs can't climb trees
Everybody has probably read many books which state that dogs can't climb trees. Unfortunately, my dog can't read. Yesterday evening, at about sundown, my dog noticed a scrub turkey walking around the edge of the sugar cane field, and started growling at it. The people I got the dog from taught her when she was a puppy to chase scrub turkeys, and so there is no way I can stop her from doing so. She raced out after the turkey, which at first tried to run away. The turkey quickly worked out that it couldn't outrun a dog, and took to the skies. It circled around, and then flew off towards the jungle. The dog ran after it at full speed. The turkey landed in a tree, about eight metres up. The dog stood under the tree for a while, looking at the turkey and barking. Then she decided that if the turkey wouldn't come down out of the tree, she would go up there and get it. She managed to climb up about two metres, but then jumped out of the tree. She did this several times. With a bit of practice, she might work out how to get some real height in her tree-climbing endeavours. So my question is obvious - how can I teach my dog to read so that I can show her in the book where it says that dogs can't climb trees? I don't want her going out on a limb and then falling off and getting hurt. -- I fought the law, and I won -- Dead Kennedys http://beable.com/ |

Plus, lot s of white space is important. I don't want her going out on a limb and then falling off and getting hurt. What do you expect from a ratting dog? Show her in the manual that she's not to look down. Read it out loud if you must. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Beable, is it possible that the people who sold you Fidel cheated you, and actually sold you a monkey instead? I don't think so, because she doesn't really like eating bananas. Monkeys can't read either, you know. Yeah, but what about the BANANAS? -- Oh no! Not alt.religion.kibology!
