I like my mom’s dog, but he’s lucky he’s cute because he’s not very bright. My dog is pretty intelligent. Have you ever played with your dog and thrown a toy but not where the dog thinks? We have a two story apartment and I like to throw his toys upstairs and he thinks I’m throwing them into the dining room. He used to run when I threw them, but now he’s learned to watch where the toy lands before he starts running. It’s a little frustrating because sometimes I would throw his toys so he would look for them for a while so he would leave me alone. He also knows sit, lay down, roll over, and crawl.

The most impressive thing is that when we say “cage,” he goes right into his cage. We didn’t even try to teach him that. One day we were talking about his cage and he went in it. Now, he can tell when we’re getting ready to leave and just goes in on his own without us telling him. If only he would stop getting into the trash…
