[Dailydrool] Another Christmas Story...basset intelligence

[suzique2u at aol.com]

I believe Tanner understand most everything I say to him, but Sally, 
nope, not a chance. She kind of lives in her own little world at times. 
  She's such a good girl though, but not being a rescue, I believe there 
is a big difference in the bonding. At least I know there is with my 
Tanner.  He's my rescue and true velcro boy.  Sally is a good alarm 
clock though, but that is because her tummy drives her at 5am!  And, 
she wants my warm space in bed once I get up! Happy Holidays to all!

Well, the other day I came home from shopping and saw the eeriest 
sight!  Vito was laying in the big dog bed.  Surrounding him were all 
the Santa toys.  Santa woobie, Santa squeeky, Santa Teddybear, Santa 
hedgehog, a green rubber squeeky and the red and white squid.  All 
these things were buried deep in the toybox.  No other toys were out 
except Arfur's hedgehog which is always out.  THIS PUP SCARES THE 
DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME!!  HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY KNOW????  This has happened 
once before, but I wrote it off as a coincidence.  But now, how can it 
be a coincidence?  And how can he be that smart??



To top it off, they had left a small hedgehog out in the snow.  Before 

I went to the mail yesterday, I told them to bring it in so it didn't 
get iced in.  when I came home, it was on the sofa frozen to a big 
chunk of icy snow.  AND THEN...yesterday I overslept because Arf did 
not come up and wake me up in the morning.  So when I went to bed, I 
told him, "make sure you come up and get mommy in the morning - you 
know I don't wake up without you."  You know the rest.  I wake to 
"bump"  "Bump" and whining and a cold nose.  He bumped me in the head 
to get me going.  People are crazy if they say that dogs don't 
understand you.  I think they are brighter than some people I know.  




Or...maybe I live near a radioactive meteor or something...

P.S. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to all our basset family

O Great Spirit, grant that I might not criticize my neighbor until I 
have walked a mile in his moccasins.
