What goes through the mind of a dog? They are temperamental creatures (why can’t you play NOW!?), but also very forgiving (oh NOW? OK!) They are apparently bipolar, nevertheless, pretty easy to read (if only everyone had a tail to wag…ahem…not going there!). Dog psychology aside, it’s amazing how much conflicting information there is about dog care and training. Nobody tells me what’s good for my dog! Luna and I sit on my deck smoking cigars (and playing poker?) and laugh and laugh about all their silly theories.
No dog is stupid, they work at different levels, but they conspire just the same. They are so sneaky…setting the bar low so we are impressed by everything. ”Sparky didn’t poop on the living room floor today…give him a treat!” They got us under their thumbs (so to speak). Even the smartest dog owner is getting played. Don’t kid yourself and think you have the power because you have the food bowl!
It doesn’t matter. They have needs, but they are also more than happy being your personal slave, however, I don’t recommend teaching them to cook Chili (don’t you know onion powder is lethal to dogs?). They are friends who are always loyal, even if they rip your arm off, lunging after a stray rabbit. When they return with your severed limb clenched between their teeth, make sure you pat them gently on the head (with your working hand) and say “good boy(girl)!”
Note: I’ve never owned a cat, due to allergies, but under certain circumstances I think I might get the shots, transfusions, a new identity or whatever is required for adoption. If they are half as entertaining as dogs, it could be worth moving to New Jersey.
