Smart Dogs

[Coco]

I used to have a newfoundland/labrador mix. This dog was really really smart. Some of the things he did :

If I brought in 7 bags of groceries (in brown bags). He would know which bag had his dog food in it without him even seeing the cans.

I once took him for a walk in a state park that was a distance from where I lived. About 1 year later I took him again. As I was driving up to the park, he started to pant and go crazy in the car (this was always an indication to me that he knew he was going to go out for a walk). This dog remembered ONE YEAR later about this park.

Whenever he would go into someone's home he would immediately go up the stairs and then go through the whole house before he relaxed - almost like he was "casing" the place

He also used to urinate right before he got in a car because he knew he couldn't once he was on a trip.

Do you guys have any stories?

That is one smart dog of yours. I once took care of my mom's friends dog and he was pretty smart. It was a Shitzue (sp). I remember I would throw a ball against a wall and have the dog go chase it but instead... the dog just backed up beforeI even threw it and it came right to him every time. The dog was better at angles then me.

I worked at a store in Chelsea for a while. We had a "guard" dog named Orbit. She was a black lab and SO smart. We had a couch and she'd go over to it and just stare at you. If you didn't "get" what she wanted, she'd put her nose under the cushion and push up it as if to say, "Hell-O! I can't lie on here until I have PERMISSION!"

She also could tell time. Her owner (we sort of "dog sat" for them; a GREAT deal in Manhattan!) would say she would wait at the door around 10:30, knowing she was getting picked up. And, sure enough, at 6:30 she'd come up to you and just stare at you, as if to say, "Hey-- I'm ready to go home now."

I have tons of stories about her. She's no longer with us. I cried when I found out she died. Bestest dog ever!

I had a beautiful little huskie as a child. I got it when I was 6. Her name was Shweety, because I had a speech problem as a child. I went EVERYWHERE with this dog! In the woods, to family member's houses, to my friends. I even got it to school one day!

So anyway, about 8 years later, my father lost his job, and we fell on REALLY hard times. It was had for him to find a job, because he only speaks Chinese, and there's only so many Laundry places and delivery jobs in NJ, you know? Anyway, it was Thanksgiving, and I was at school HUNGRY! I had BEGGED my Mom for some food, and she told me that it was all gone. BUt not to worry, we'd have a FULL Thanksgiving dinner that night. Dad had found a job!

SO all day I'm so excited! And I get home, and there's dinner, waiting for me!

But as I cut into my turkey, I notice that there's somthing a little different about this turkey. What is it? It's got legs, and stuffing, and crispy skin, and tender, juicy meat, and A COLLAR!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!


BWA HAHAHA!!! I was all a Load of SHIT! My mom has a French Poodle, and it SUCKS!

I just wanted to apologize to Coco for killing another one of her posts.

She started out just writing a nice little story, and I turned it into a Thanksgiving massacre story.

I'm so ashamed........

No offense taken. I notice that you attack practically everyone on this Board for no apparent reason equally (example: Dark Hippie's hair cut).

How does that work for you? Do you find it makes you friends on the Board and in real life ? Something for you to think about.

we have 2 (had 3 but one died this year). Maxx is dumb as a rock - nice dog but dumb. Disney is smarter than some people I know. You tell her - get your ball, or get toy xyz and she goes and gets the right one. She also sits at the foot of the bed and hurumphs under her breath until you put the tv on. It also drives her nuts if the entire family is not in the same room - she cycles back and forth between the rooms every couple of minutes checking on us all.
Mickey (the one that died) was very smart but very lazy - if you wanted the damn ball why did you throw it then? Man did the wife and I fall apart for weeks after he left us.

Thats not a smart dog, thats a psychic dog. You guys should've had your own late night infomercial.
By the way moe, you're a sick puppy. GET IT? PUPPY!?!?!

Unfortunately, I don't think I will ever find another dog like him (his name was Mota). I think he was so smart because I had heard he was a wild dog before he was adopted.


He was all black with gold eyes and looked a little bit like a bear because of his newfoundland breed. He had webbed feet and swam also.

Other things he would do:
If I was to yell at him for something, he would just look up to me and just lick his lips, almost to say "I don't care about what you have to say".

If I was leaving for work, he would go into the bathroom and "cling" onto the base of the toilet because he wanted to be kept inside all day instead of going out.

I miss that dog so much!

It wasn't an attack on you Coco, just a little fun in your post.

I only apologized because it looked like I killed your thread, and I didn't want to drag down your topic.

Plus, I can only be myself. So people either like me or hate me for who I REALLY am.
