A butcher is leaning on the counter toward the close of day when a dog with a basket in its jaws comes pushing through the door.
"An' wot's this then?" he asked. The dog knocks the basket sharply into the butcher's shins.
"You dumb dog." As he reaches down to smack the dog, he notices a note and a ten dollar bill in the basket.
The scribble on the note asks for three pounds of his best mince [ground beef]. The butcher figures this is too easy. He goes to the window and reaches for the dried up stuff that's been sitting out all day.
The dog growls at him. The butcher turns around and, glaring at the pup, gets the best mince from the fridge. Weighing out about 2 1/2 pounds, he drops in on the scale with his thumb.
"Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who'll know?"
Again, the dog growls menacingly. "Alright, alright," as he throws on a generous half pound. He wraps it out, drops it in the basket, and drops in change from a five. The dog threatens to chew him off at the ankles. Another five goes in the basket.
The butcher is quite impressed and decides to follow the piddy pup home. The dog quickly enters a high-rise buildings, pushes the lift button, enters the lift, and then pushes the button for the 12th floor. The dog walks down the corridor and smartly bangs the basket on the door. The door opens, and the dog's owner screams at the dog.
"Hey, what are you doing? That's a really smart dog you've got there," comments the butcher.
"He's a stupid dog--that's the third time this week he's forgotten his key.

Queen of Smiles, I think that was a great one. I wish our dog would be smart enough to do that also.
Instead of yelling at the poor dog, the owner should have something to put a key into or put it around the pup's neck.
Thank- for starting my day off with such a SMILE.

Very good, gave us a chuckle thanx. A pup like that'd be a boon for anyone! Can't see us being able to train our pup to do anything as clever....she's a Cocker Spaniel who doesn't live up to the breeds reputation for being active and on the go! The only thing she does with regard to our shopping is shove her nose in the bags to see if we've bought her anything!

In our little town there is a dog that walks to the butcher's on his own to get a bone, I wish mine could do that.

That is sad a smart dog like that being treated bad by its owner. Some people are never satisfied.

prepare him. First, reconize while your canine has to do its enterprise. in the journey that your canine if sniffing the floor and/or circling a community, %. him up and promptly placed him exterior. He might desire to no longer do it top away. He might desire to sense uncomfortable with you observing him. for that reason, placed him exterior for around 15 min. If he did no longer do it by potential of then, you are able to permit him returned interior. in case you canine did do it, then freshen up the section the place he did it (regardless of if that's nessessary) yet do no longer placed cleansing soap on it or regardless of. when you tidy it up slightly, you are able to placed some newspaper or something in that section. canines have a great sense of scent, and that they are probably to bypass to a similar section the place they did their enterprise beforehand, and do it there. Then merely keep observing your canine, and each and every time you think of which you canine has to bypass to the bathing room, carry him to the section with the newspaper or regardless of. quickly, that's going to become a habit, and the canine will bypass to that section by potential of himself (you are able to replace the newspaper commonly!). If the section takes place to be exterior, then yet a bell or something that makes noise on the door seperating your homestead and your exterior. each and every time your canine has to bypass to the bathing room, it could ring the bell (or do something else) and you are able to bypass and open the door for it so it could do its enterprise. i'm hoping this helped!

I think if I was this smart doggie, I'd get an agent, move to Hollywood, make millions and let that owner wait on me. Then he'd be the one who'd better not forget his key, growl! lol
