Considerate But Weird
I stepped inside the house yesterday and was immediately hit by a 70's Cheech & Chong flashback.*** Akitas have fairly sensitive stomachs, and the evening before I'd given Sassy a few bites of porkchop against my better judgment. But she was looking at me with those pleading eyes, and well.
Anyway, it had not agreed with her. The weird thing was that there was a stack of newspapers in the living room floor, and she'd spread them all over the floor before relieving her quite considerable 'intestinal distress' on them. What made her think of that I don't know, because she was never trained to use paper and she's never done anything like that before.
Not that I wasn't grateful mind you.
But it was a little disconcerting to be reminded of just how smart she is.
***You know, the skit that begins with them walking through the Arctic when one of them says "What's that?", and the other one goes "Looks like dogsh*t to me."

Very considerate, and way too smart! Maybe you can send her up here to teach my dogs a thing or two. On second thought, don't bother - stupidness* may be catching and I wouldn't want to be blamed for that.
Disclaimer - my dogs aren't really stuped, they are each smart in their own ways. But put both of them together and you still wouldn't find the brightest bulb in the pack.

It can't be catching or she'd caught it from Sollie long ago. Poor little guy, he's not too bright either.
