What clever things can your dog do?

[iMemoo]

So today she has figured how to open the fridge door!

She can also open all the internal doors and back door. When she's been out in the garden she let's herself back in! :)

She goes on the slide with the dc, even waits her turn!

If she doesn't like what I've given her for tea she empties her bowl onto the kitchen floor.

She's still not figured though that no matter how high she jumps she is never going to catch the seagulls.

Knows when we're going for a walk by how I shut the laptop!

Knows exactly what I want her to do but weighs up whether SHE wants to do it!

Knows when I need a hug.

My dog can unerringly choose to nap on the tiny spot on the sofa not covered by her fleecy blanket.

And earlier today she managed to get a sausage from so far back on the worktop that I can only assume she used a chair to reach it .

Ours managed to slip his lead outside Tesco the other day. Instead of wandering off down the street he walked into the store, turned right and plonked his bum on the floor by the customer service desk. If you were shopping in a small Suffolk branch of Tesco on a Sunday at the beginning of October an dyou heard the announcement "Will the owner of a black dog please come to the front of the store" that was my boy.

He can open doors.

He's learned not to get out of bed until the children have cleared the house on a school morning.

He has magic powers when it comes to children who fear dogs - has now helped at least 10 children with their fears.

He knows which rules aplly to which houses - for example, he's not allowed upstairs in aunt's house, so just doesn't bother but no problem at home.

When he wants a walk, he stands over a pair of shoes and looks in to them forlornly.

Um

He does pat dd1 back when she pats him - literally!

Just thought of another.

Flora knew when I was pregnant. She would very gently nussle my tummy. The futher on I got the more protective she became. The week before I had dd flora went into over drive, followed me everywhere.

Elibean that's really rather lovely
