"How dogs think" is yet another great addition to his line of books! :thumbup: Here is a sample of his latest! "Like all of my dogs, he also has a fondness for catfood if it can be stolen from the cats bowl. For this reason, we we have taken to putting Loki's food dish on the kitchen counter, & included a small stool so the lazy cat can jump up to the counter. This process facinated Darby as he looked at the feeding cat & then @ me & next he did something very strange! He looked down and began to dig at the base of the counter. I looked down but saw nothing. What are you trying to say Darby? As if I expected an answer. Again he looked at me and then frantically began to dig at the base of the counter. I looked down once again & finally I got down on my hands & knees to see what he was after... only to feel his feet jumping off my back to access the counter to eat the uneaten cat food! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif Stanley Coren has a Phd in psychology...but he was clearly "outsmarted by a beagle in this case"! :thumbup:

Well as it turns-out, I will get to spend more time with this book as my broken ankle heals! (I thought I had sprained it very badly...but I clearly fractured it 3 weeks ago as the x-rays showed)! (Stubborness & a high tolerence to pain is not always a good thing)! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif I have been walking around with a fractured ankle for 3 weeks & most of the swelling has gone away & it has started healing...but for it to heal properly I have to wear a "boot-cast" for 2 to 3 weeks! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif Goober & Homer will no doubt enjoy having "the big dawg" home for for an "extended holiday"!

Get well soon NR. Sounds like you found just the right book to kill the time.

That does sound like an interesting read. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks/Danke! I still heal very fast & "will be back on both of my feet" very soon! :thumbup: But at least I have Goober & Homer to comphort me while I recover! I did not break the same leg-bone that I did in 1974, as it was the major leg bone, but it was the smaller "outside" leg-bone this time...Or I would not have been able to walk at all! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif
