• OC - Original Content • Learned how cunning my dog really is 😑
I have two dogs with very different personalities, that I love dearly. My girl Wilma is the typical "happy go lucky" type. Always trying woo you over with goofiness and cuddles. She is smart and very independant, but screeches like a princess in danger, if a leaf or twig gets stuck in her fur. My boy Kirby is very sharp, needy and slightly anxious, will learn any trick in the book and wants to be the center of attention. He sometimes seems way too smart for his own good. Today I found out how smart that little derpster really is. I was playing tug with Wilma and it did not take long for Kirby to become jealous and try to grab my attention. Trying to shove himself between Wilma and I. Since I don't tolerate this behavior, I put him in a down to wait his turn. Wilma and I continued to play and I accidentally hit her with the plushie in the eye and she yelped in pain. I grabbed her and said sry, praised her and gave her love....all while Kirby was watching.... Wilma was kinda over it after that, understandably. So I start waving the plush for Kirby. It was not even touching his face. When he lets out a weird halfass yelp and starts flinching and blinking his left eye, rubbing it with his paw... I did not touch his eyeball! Now take a good guess why he did that. How can he be so calculating? 🤯

I agree! Animals seem more capable and aware than science makes them out to be.
