My Dog Is Smarter Than A Lab Rat

Nov 11, 2009 14:17

You know those experiments in which lab rats are trained to press a lever or pedal in order to get a piece of food? Hold that thought.

Jackson is a trash dog. He just loves trash. Any trash. Coffee filters, paper towels, orange rinds, used dental floss, empty pill bottles and toothpaste tubes, old toothbrushes, and all sorts of unsavory things. We got very tired of picking trash up off the bathroom floor, so we purchased a covered wastebasket, the kind with the pedal you step on to open the lid. See where I'm going with this?

Yes, Jackson, at age one, somehow figured out that pedal and now there's trash everywhere again. Why couldn't we adopt a dumb mutt?
