[nagdu] Dogs Unwrapping Their Presents

[Tami Kinney]

Nicole,

Well... Having known many individuals of both species over the years of 
my long-legged life, I do believe your statement is inherently untrue.

It's not that cats don't know it's wrong. It's that they just don't care!

Which does add to my suspicions that my poodle is not so much a wolf in 
sheep's clothing as a cat in a wolf in sheep's clothing. /lol/ If she 
does something bad, it's not because she forgot or didn't know or was 
trying to get away with it. If DD or I catch her in the act, she will 
look us in the eye, grin, flip us off and just keep right on doing what 
she's doing until we get to her to stop her or she is done. She will 
then put herself on restriction to think about what she has done 
wrong... I am not making that up. /lol/ By now, DD and I will say her 
name sternly in unison, repeat it, then just look at each other and 
shrug when she quits and goes into her room to spend some time alone 
being quiet until she's ready to come out and behave.

Apparently, that's kinda a poodle thing. They will get themselves in 
trouble not to rebel or challenge your authority or something, but 
because they just want to have fun with you. /lol/ What do you do with a 
dog like that? /lol/

She is absolutely delightful and is doing a good job of teaching the 
puppy the art of constructive trouble making. Very funny.

Tami
