Sam the Wonder Dog often becomes Sam the Shop Dog when he wants a rawhide bone. He has learned a sure fire method for getting his bone. First is positioning exactly where I need to stand for what ever process is next, be it working on one end or the other of the bench or sharpening iron. Once in position he will lay down taking as much floor space as possible. Then once I step over him he sits up and gives me the "doggie eye" until the bone is produced. Works every time, the damn dog is smarter than I am.
Here he is enjoying this morning's work:

Having a smart dog is nice, I am hoping that some of the intelligence magically will flow my way so I can become smart too.
ReplyDeleteSomehow a dog manages to look cute too while doing it. That part is a lot harder for a semi fat middle aged guy like me with a hefty set of sideburns..

Jonas,
DeleteA wise neighbor once told me "Mr.Ken, it is not good for a man to be without senorita" I would add it is not good for a man to be without senorita and a dog.
I can relate to the looking cute thing.

Sam and Maggie Woof back
I wish I could outsmart my dog.
ReplyDeleteSteve,
DeleteThey are usually a step or two ahead of us, at least my two are.

Ha ha and yes, they are creatures of habits.... Rudy got me down pat for “our” morning routine.. 😜
ReplyDeleteBob, and Rudy
Bob,
DeleteYep, that they are and they learn quickly what gets treats. With my two if I walk in the front door, no matter how long I was gone, it is straight to the 'treat box" with ears perked . If I lag it is worth a Woof or two.
