I think these pets of ours are a lot smarter than most people will give them credit for! He'll know when the nets are down again and you can play in that court . . . !

Naut
Dogs, particularly bird dogs are so fascinating. I am sure all dogs are but I grew up with bird dogs and they seemed to be so very smart. I know nothing factual about their abilities but watching them always fascinated me.

I thought the way Ben positioned himself was interesting but made sense as well! sam

I love to see a dog playing with their master. There are several parks around where I now and then observe doggie ball or frisbee fun.

It is amazing how the intelligence of an animal develops when they are
interacting with humans constantly. I believe that future programmes will prove that animals are way more able to reason than ever understood before.
Why it was only a few years ago that they preached in the neonatal wards that neo natal babies didn't feel pain....Helloooooo!!!!

It is interesting reading of Ben's positioning and makes a lot of sense.

Aww - you have to find another place to play ball, Naut. Ben is counting on you!! Dogs are uncanny. My dogs realize certain things too. Smooch could open my kitchen door to come inside, until I got the locked fixed. After just once, he has now associated the sound of the lock turning with the 'no use trying the door - it won't open after she makes that noise', and sits there waiting patiently...with that look....
