My human THINKS she is smart. But clearly not as smart as us canines.
Jaws loves to be outside. Our property is not fully fenced - it's a couple of acres. There is a large dog run on the side of our house - but we never use it - we prefer to be with our human! We also have a large covered X-pen - which we never use either. It was actually WITHIN the run. Don't ask me why - it doesn't make sense to me either. Bottom line - we don't use either enclosure. But since Jaws likes it outside, my human thought that while she was doing work in the garden, she could put Jaws in the X-pen - on a grassy area next to the driveway. Before the Hulk left, he helped my human carry the 10,000 lb pen (OK, maybe it's not THAT heavy - but it helped to move it with two people) to the decided location. Grassy. Shaded. Perfect. Or so she thought.
So yesterday, while she was mowing the lawn and pulling weeds out of the garden beds, she put Jaws in the pen. She could keep an eye on him - and knew he was safe. Velcro dog and I were out on the deck.
My human mowed and every little while, looked over to see that he was OK. He appeared to be playing with one of his chew toys.
She finished her gardening and went to get the little fella - who is now taller than Velcro dog - and he was quietly working. He was digging a hole. About a foot wide. He had covered his chew toys and his feet were dark brown. His nose had mud on it. And he appeared quiet happy with his work. Yesterday was the day he was introduced to the tub in the "grooming" room.
So I question the intelligence of my human. We know the guy likes to dig. But if that wasn't bad enough, my human later went to take the garbage cans up to the road. She figured it would ONLY take her two minutes - so she could again leave Jaws in the pen. I can't believe I am actually telling this part of the story. Really? Where are your brains woman? Sure it was only SUPPOSED to be a few minutes. But then you really shouldn't have chatted with the neighbor who happened to be walking by - should you? So you guessed it Digger was at it again.
So now the pen will have to be moved - as it has been almost fully excavated. There is no grass left. So much for the great location. And moving it will be fun - as the Hulk is gone. This should be interesting...
Who said humans are smarter than canines?
