    In fairness your dog is only stupid if he does it a second time :)

    I own a wolf rather than a dog. Imported from the US. Sometimes I fear he might actually be smarter than I am in some things. He - knows stuff. You can just tell.

    I want to see!

    My dog has recently developed a habit of chasing the front wheel of my bicycle when I go for a ride, today he caught it! He now has a big cut on his face. :rolleyes:

    Stupid mutt!

    Anyone else got a stupid dog?

    It's time.

    It's time to make dog burgers.

    I try :)

    Alas being an illegal hound I try to avoid putting pictures of him on the net.

    I sourced him after reading a book about a guy who had pretty much the same breed-mix. So if you wanna know what he looks like just google "The philosopher and the wolf"

    Sorry about the smart ass deflection of the seeing him - but come on - its after hours - its expected :)

    You would not regret reading the book either. They are an amazing animal to live with.

    Well... that doggie was far more malumute husky and dog than wolf. His build is/was all wrong, save for his tail. As was his behavior. Maybe some wolf blood, but very low content.

    And the problem I have with that whole story is the idea that having a wolf, or high content wolfdog is something to be sought as a Good Thing(tm). It's not. On soooo many levels. Most of all for the animal itself. And us. Seek ones own ideas of some pure and wild Shangri la if you will, but leave the notions of the wild wolf in the wild, where they belong, happy among their own, ever suspicious of outsiders, especially people and for good reason.

    They should be out there, reminding us of what to be truly wild means, what it was we came from and should be mindful of, even in our cosy suburbia. That difference makes us both better, trying to meld the two diminishes us both. Look to our doggies instead, the wolf who came in from the wild.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Got a rescue Canary last week, she's a lovely little thing, barely any feathers on her but she's otherwise fine and starting to settle in her new home. Introduced her to dog and dog is mystified/insanely jealous/wants to eat her. We all just settled down for the night but dog will not go into her bed and is prancing around like she's got a bug up her arse for the want to go in and spend another hour sitting beneath cage staring hypnotically at the chirpy thing in it. (she's not stupid though, she's a pretty smart madra all the same)

    I do not think the book gave off the impression - explicit or implicit - that it is. Quite the opposite in fact. And my experience is no different. In and of itself. The frame of mind and the life changes you have to make to accommodate something like it - might even surprise someone as clearly knowledgeable as yourself.

    But given our conversation on this subject some time ago I am tickled that I made the post above knowing you would show up. It is nice to know you are still out there :) I have seen your "Thanks" on a lot of posts I have made and a lot of posts I wish I had made. I am starting to feel like a fan of yours :)

    Heh. You remind me of a Daniel Dennet quote. "How clever was it - evolutionary speaking - for sheep to acquire shepherds?"

    A sentence that will mess with your mind - if you think about it long enough :)

    My old Cairn Terrier used to roll around in horsehi1t till he was green all over and come back to the house 20 doors away just to shake it off.

    Bless him, the poor thing went blind and used to misjudge the corners and donk off our pillar. I laughed my arss off at the time but hey, i was 12!

    My new puppy strutted up and down the garden this afternoon, letting out serious woofs at the dog next door, like a boss......... When I went inside and shut the door on him, he whimpered like baby for an hour. Total wuss and now the dog next door owns him forever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭The_Gatsby


    A good way to see how stupid your dog is...throw a blanket on his head and see how long it takes him to get it off. Any longer than a few seconds and he's dumb as ****.

    My dog stood there with the blanket on until I took it off.

    My dog used to go crazy chasing my football, drove me and my mates mad for years.
    Eventually, just to piss him off, I kicked the ball up into this big conker tree outside.

    Now every summer evening when my mates come over the dog goes out into the garden and barks at this great big oak we have.

    Stupid dog, barking up the wrong tree.

    My female dog scrunches her furry bed up in a ball and humps it like crazy.
    Totally confused....
