Reply #3: That's pretty damn smart! [View All]

my new dog Tasha continues to amaze me. I've only had her 6 months (she's 2) and every day she does something that convinces me she could easily run the country better than Shrub (well that's not saying much I guess).

She's a Border Collie and she figures things out very quickly. I had to put her and her brother in the house one time so I could work in the yard without them getting in the way and she figured out how to open the French doors so they could get out.

She picks up on little clues too. Yesterday I wanted to get them to go outside so I went to the door and opened it. Boris went out but Tasha didn't. Then I realized she didn't go because I hadn't put my shoes on, so she knew I wasn't going to go out and play with them. She just sat in the doorway until I slipped on my sandals, then she ran out.

She also knows the names of her toys and for example, can pick out her "purple ball" from all the other toys.

I've often thought about getting her into films but I don't think she'd enjoy it as she's not fond of commotion.
