we have written one of our dogs off as a moron. He’s very clumsy and like I said, just plain dumb. Then there’s our other dog. She is our prize child. She was house broken after just three times, and learned all her tricks in one day. Like I said, very smart. She has this habit of sitting on the back of the couch and looking out the window. Especially when people walk by. So anyways…one day, Oreo was eating out of the food bowl, and Twix (the dumb dog, or so we thought) wanted some food but Oreo wasn’t letting him. Twix jumps up to the back of the couch, looks at Oreo eating, and begins barking at the window. Well of course, here comes Oreo to see what he is barking at. As soon as she gets up there, Twix jumps down and begins eating food. There was nothing outside the window. I swear he was smiling. It was odd. I now wait on him hand and foot because I’m afraid he will try to take over the world one day.:smack: ---

Were they in a jar? My dog keeps brains in a jar. I have an odd dog. ---

No, they were still in his head surprisingly enough. I was sure that was missing all this time. My husband says he was so smart, he was just playing dumb. I have to go now, Twix is watching and wants to use the computer. ---
