Dogs know dup threads when they see them

Border Collies are quite smart, that's part of the reason they excel at Training/Agility Competitions.

My Golden, on the other hand is about as smart as a Box of Rocks, but lovable nonetheless.

Couldn't spell 'walk' in front of our last dog, she knew what it meant and would get excited enough to start knocking things over in her rush toget out.

The key to the experiment was that the dog was a Border Collie.

We had a Border Collie, Barney, (who died of cancer). He was smarter than us, and had more stamina than any two dogs combined that we have owned in the past.

I can recall that while he was still a pup, he would come into the house and my wife would say "dirty feet"!, and he would run to the bathroom and jump into the tub.

Okay, no more puppy stories! (I can here the "aww how sweet" reactions from here! LOL

Professional searchers don't search amateur search engines on the whole title but on a significant word.

But is there research to show that Democrats can comprehend economics? ^

Put Gloria Feldt in there, the head of PParenthood, who came up with the "Choice on Earth" abortion Christmas card...

1.) I'll be a "professional" searcher the day you (or someone else) offers to pay me for performing said task, thanks.

2.) Deeeeeep, regular breaths. You get yourself bent all out of shape over piddly stuff like this: you ain't never gonna survive the rigors of Election Night, this year. :)

Perhaps you misunderestimate your Golden's intelligence. S/he is smart enough to get out of a heck of a lot of work assignments you've tried giving him/her. That's pretty smart, IMO.

"Fetch? You talkin' ta me? I ain't got a clue, honey. Pass me another one a' those buscuits, wouldja?"

They're not nearly as perceptive as reptiles, who are smart enough to stay out of your damn way and not shed like a banshee whenever they traipse around your furniture.

I am already annoyed with preparations for recounts and court action this fall. But the consolation is that if Bush steals this election, too, then he will be able to run again in '12 and '16.
