Smart Dog

How I know Mali is one smart pup...

1. Applied Knowledge: On Saturday afternoon, she watched the agility trials on "Top Dogs", a popular dog show on OLN. Later that afternoon, she could be seen weaving in and out of our cedar hedge.

2. Problem Solving: She wanted to sit on the couch, but Laurie and I were sprawled out on top of it. What does she do? She pretends that she needs to be let out, and then when mommy rises from the couch to let her out the door, she steals her spot.

3. Mechanical Ability: She has actually learned how to turn on and off a mechanical device--Sophie's mobile mat. She's actually discovered how to turn on the music and flashing lights with her nose.
