Our dog exhibits more brains than we do...

I absolutely agree!

A few years ago I remodeled our family room. The room is 32 feet wide and 20 feet deep. The floor is concrete and I was putting down new ceramic 14 inch square tiles. My son returned home to live with us after experiencing a "loss at love" situation. We also had 2 small dogs.

Now, as I was working on the floor, installing the tiles with the concrete mix, the little plastic spacers and all of that, I sectioned off sections of the room where no one should walk for a few hours. I put all sort of barricades in the way.

Both my dogs were smart enough to know to walk around this mess of piles of stuff, blocking off the new tile laid, until the concrete had a chance to dry.

Then my son came into the room and stepped right over the blockaid and right across the newly laid tiles and out the other door!

I totally agree! Dogs are smarter!

When it rained Bliss(RIP) used to wait by the back door for me to get the umbrella so she could go to the bathroom. I would open the door, then the umbrella, walk out a couple feet, she would stand under the umbrella for a few seconds, and then run off into the backyard to go potty.

I used to be able to do that, Until the neighbors called the cops on me. Still can't figure out why, I was in my own yard.

Sounds like a great life!
