Opinionated Dogs
For generations, scientists and philosophers believed dogs couldn’t think beyond their food dish. They believed, and many still do believe, that the ability to think outside the box is a human trait. They were willing to concede that dogs might be concrete thinkers–they know that the leash means they’re going for a walk or, in the case of hunting dogs, boots and a shotgun mean they’re going hunting–because concrete thinking is a “what you see is what you get” school of thought and what we rely on for everyday tasks and assessments.

Looking At The Future!
I had the opportunity to get to a local dog show this month; it’s not something I can do very frequently nowadays. It was held at the Sun ‘N Fun Airport in Lakeland, Florida. It has a series of hanger-type buildings with good natural light and lots of space for spectators. Being one of those spectators, Mike made room for me right up front with a super view of the down and back! It was great seeing so many of my dog show peeps and a whole group of new dogs in their strings. When you’re away for a while things sure do change.
