The strangest thing just happened as I was sitting here perusing Pet Talk.....! Duncan was lying quietly beside me. He stood up and was staring at me and looking like he wanted something. So I told him to go get his ball. He did the head cock thing and his ears perked up but he just stared at me and didn't go anywhere. I told him, "Go get your ball. it's upstairs in our room." Head cock, ears up but still staring at me. A few minutes go by. Duncan lies back down, licks himself, looks around for a few minutes and disappears up the stairs. Don't you know, he comes back down with his ball a few minutes later!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm wondering, did he understand what I said and it just took a few minutes to sink in? Maybe he heard me but there was a time lapse while he figured out exactly what my words meant....
These animals are so gosh darn smart! Is there anything they don't know? I think all the answers to all the real meaningful questions of the world are in there somewhere!!! We just need to figure it out!
