my dog is a great little guy. :) he's getting old, though, which makes me sad. he turned 10 last month and seems to have really started aging. =( (noooo don't die, little dude!! ahhh!!) but he's so smart; he picks up all sorts of things without me actually sitting him down and teaching him, and then when i say something haphazardly, thinking it'll be funny, he actually responds and does what i've said, which is just awesome. ^_^ he just sorta seems to learn things from hearing people use words in particular ways. he gets ridiculously excited if he thinks there's a possibility he'll get to ride in the car -- he gets cabin fever, but with it being so hot here lately, and him being a little old, i've just been keeping him home and not taking him out. he'll only actually eat a milkbone or other treat if you harass him with it. he likes to pretend that he doesn't see them, or that he's ignoring them. if you give one to him straight from the box, he'll put it down and look at you like "what is this?" you have to bop him on the nose or poke him and just generally harass him, and then he "gets mad" and attacks it. ^_^ it's so funny. ^_^ yay dogs. ^_^ eta: i agree with willow. give me a dumb dog over a "look how smart i am" person any day. though i will say, i've met more dumb people than dumb dogs in my life.
