[Dailydrool] Are Bassets Dumb or Smart?

[Maureen.Carey at gulfstream.com]

My bassett lures me out of my recliner by going to the door to go
out...then when I'm up and at the door, she runs back and opens the flip-up
arms to my recliner to see if the 'coveted' pair of socks have been stashed
there....  She does this frequently....  She also doesn't miss a chance to
check newly removed shoes...just in case the 'coveted' socks got stuck
inside....

I say 'SMART'!

ONCE I put dog treats in a totally incongruent place - an upstairs closet -
and never did again - til the day we moved from California, Winnie (ATB)
always sat in front of that closet looking hopefully upwards....

ONCE one dog did not digest a Greenie and another of my Bassets got a
Greenie-filled poopsnickle to snack on.  Now they never miss a poop, just
in case there is a piece of Greenie in one, even tho we have not fed
Greenies in a LONG time.......

EVERY DAY at precisely 5 p.m. (well, sometimes at 4:45) all 5 dogs start to
get antsy and bug me to feed them.....

EVERY TIME someone comes to my house they let me know if that person is OK
or not.  They all loved Tom Schreck.  They all hate repair people who are
planning to charge their mother too much.....

DESPITE the fact that I poke in their ears, give them meds, take them to
the vet, empty their anal glands and give them baths, they love me
unconditionally and are loyal to their last drop of drool...

Now I ask you, are bassets smart or dumb?
