While Ernie is certainly smart, I've found one gap in his IQ:
He has some favorite houses because the person who lives there gives him treats. Several times, we'll see that person on the street and then pass their house, and Ernie still gets excited.
I tell him, "Ernie, we just saw Jan. She can't possibly be in the house."
He never listens.
- technothrasher 3y agoYeah, my pup gets very excited when my wife comes home and can even tell the sound of her car before she sees it. But... I can tell her, "mom's home!" and she'll get very excited and start running between the front and the back door, when "mom" is actually sitting right next to me in full view. On the other end of the intelligence scale, I've got a buddy with a pup who I once told to get a stick, which he dutifully did and when I said, "no, not that stick, the one by the ball" he quickly dropped it and went and got the one by the ball. You can also tell him which color ball to get and he will.
