I should not know, I could not say, I would not tell you anyway.
Why not just say mentally delayed?
My dog is a prime example of your theory darling...his own farts terrify him. Sorry to be crude...
no way, my tobi is the smartest thing EVER. she can sit, roll over, eat stuff off the sidewalk, puke in the car, rip up the carpet, trip on the stairs... wait a second.... nevermind.
I think we admire those charactics in dogs--blind loyalty, etc.--but we really tamed them and trained the beast out of them just because they're furry and pretty. We'd keep rhinos as pets if they were a little cuter and a little smaller.
And yes, my dog is a great example. A big, fierce-looking Rottweiler who I have trained every fierce instinct out of, so that I didn't have to hear her bark or worry about her being aggressive to guests. Poor thing.
BTW, thanks for linking me! I've added you to my list as well.
Note self: Use "mentally delayed" instead of "retarded" next time I'm on the subject of mental retardation of dogs. I guess it applies to other situations too, but I'd never even think of using "retarded" in the human sense. Very politically incorrect and insensitive...
lol his own "farts", eh? You used to be so couth Madeleine...
But Ian, did your dog used to eat his own poop? Yeah, that was a bad experience. The funny thing is that in the end, we had to put these specail drops in his food so that -- get this -- his poop would taste like crap!
And Karla, good point. I'm thinking there must be more to it though, or else what explains why little household pigs aren't all the rage?
...I was a pig.
And no problem on the link! Count me as honoured that you added me, cause -- ya know -- you're like... famous or something... kinda. heh. Look at me: Articulation at it's finest.
