I have pulled 4 treats out to fill "the Kong" but only used 3 ... extremely pissed dog.

They can count, I'm sure of it.

Oh yes they can... Roxy knows exactly how many treats should be in her bowl in the morning before I leave for work and when I get home... If those milk bones are not there and the right number she lets me know in a hurry... I won't even get into the pigs ear thing here....she goes nuts over those things and will sit in front of the cupboard where they are kept until she gets one. I do mean one... it is like her vitamin one a day.....

Is it Anon award time again or something???

Good post, my dog lies right behind my computer chair every time I sit down, so everytime I move, I spend five minutes untangling tail hair from the wheel. You'ld think he'd catch on....
