(Not So) Silly Pet Tricks

Sometimes I think my dog Cobber is too smart for his own good (and mine). Being the proactive people that we are, Mr. Ciway and I have already started planning for our old age by teaching him how to pick things up for us when we drop them and give them back to us. Cobber is so good at it now (it only took a mere one or two attempts to teach him originally) that he even anticipates when we might be dropping something and waits eagerly for every opportunity. Yesterday my daughter Connie was visiting and told me that she was unpacking some items and figured her dad who was upstairs might be in need of them so she simply said "take this to Daddy" and as quick as a bunny Cobber was up the stairs, the items gently cradled in his mouth, taking them right to Mr. Ciway. What a dog!
