This is Rosie, our Welsh Corgi.
After eleven years, she owns the household.
She’s a great watch dog.
She has been known to bark for several minutes at suspicious noises, all the while lying on her side, never stirring or even raising her head from her original sleeping position.
When she is satisfied she has scared the hell out of whatever it was she heard, she stops barking and returns to sleep.
We call the technique
“Bark-A-Lounging”
Rosie is very smart. Smarter than we (her owners) are in many ways.
- She can catch a tennis ball in her mouth. We can’t do that.
- She can jump through a wire hoop not much bigger than her. We can’t do that.
- She can roll over on command. We can do that…but we won’t.
- She can shake hands with either front paw. We can do that but it’s awkward.
- She can dance on her two hind legs. My wife can do that.
- Upon entering the great outdoors, in a matter of seconds, she can find nasty things in the grass and clean them up for us by rolling in them. We haven’t tried that, and probably won’t.
