Smart Pup!

No, this isn’t another Tempi story. A question on Quora was What is the most intelligent thing your dog (or any other pet) has done? Paiyyaaj Tekker told how her pup Laila hated the robo-vacuum they used to clean up the hairs she shed. For a while she would just go into her crate while it was operating, but she finally had had enough and tried to stop it. She waited until it got close to her bed then grabbed the bed and put it over the vacuum and jumped up and down on it.

That didn’t stop it. It was on again the next day. So she waited and watched it every day until she figured out what to do.

She has another thinner bed that’s always inside her crate. A few minutes before the daily vacuum run, she pulled it out of her crate along with one of her toys.

As soon as the vacuum cleaner played its startup tune, she quickly got up, pushed her bed towards the vacuum cleaner and pushed her rubber toy against the bed, trapping the vacuum cleaner at the base.

And that’s it. The vacuum cleaner complained that it couldn’t move away from the base for a minute and then gave up. Problem solved!

She climbed up the couch and went to sleep knowing she’d won the battle. The evil had been defeated! Her world was safe again.

    this dog is as smart as beautiful. love it, love it but you knew I would. yesterday bob and I were talking about our first dog we got as a puppy in 1986. He was so smart. when we were sitting in the living room, we could not see the sliding glass door in the kitchen, which is the one that let him out to potty. He was about 6 months old when he went to the door accross from us that led down 2 steps into the garage. he put his nose to the crack in the door and stood there. after a couple of minutes I said maybe he has to go out. Took him out and he peed right away. from that time on if he wanted to pee he went to the garage door. five years later we moved in this house. sliding door in kitchen, but the garage door was behind us. the closet door was where the other door was. the first first night he went to the closet door and said DOOR…
