I've started doing a new thing,which I think is utter genius but which drives mommy insane! It all began after I wrote my vanishing toys post for the blog challenge and mommy saw things from my point of view - which made her feel bad. So she started being a lot quicker about fishing my toys out from under things when they disappeared. In some cases, the second a ball rolled out of reach, mommy grabbed it for me! After this continued a few times, and I was sure it wasn't coincidence, I figured I could exploit this and put my brilliant plan into action.
See it's not easy being a smart dog. I can't lay around all day doing nothing, just waiting for mommy to finish work and talk me for a walk. I need stimulation and activity! That's why (for a little while anyway), this new trick was utterly genius: I would purposely slide my balls or stuff my toys under the couch and then alert mommy so she'd have to get them out for me! This occasionally lead to playtime as well! Oh we had a glorious few days ... Until she figured it all out! Now it's back to maximum wait time for vanished toys and it's even worse because the legitimately-accidental ones are neglected for hours at a time!
Sometimes I think there's no place for a smart dog in a human world!
They are constantly trying to outwit us, aren't they?
