Fred,

Doughnuts?? Sure enough, you can see Buddy lift his nose right before taking off. Cripe, I never thought of that Fred. I should have known. That is good.

Quincy would never realise the doughnuts are gone and get down to real business like that... but he's still a pup. Older dogs know cops can't drive when there is doughnuts left.

For instance, I once shot by a speed trap at double the legal speed. But was I scared? No. The cop had a doughnut in one hand, and radar gun in the other. I knew he wouldn't chase me.

That's what's so remarkable about Buddy. Most dogs are just good at saving themselves.

I know. I can't get her to chase me, and I'm easy. I'm jealous. 'Course, I'm not fixed either.

I'm a dog fan.

Maybe cats are comfort animals.
Tru,

We had a cat that frantically led the UPS man to our door with a new electric can-opener. Just kidding.

When I was a kid, we did have one that learned to come when called by name. She learned it while she had kittens to mind and fuss over in our entry shed.

My brother had a cat (Taco) that his daughter taught to roll over on command and shake hands on occasion. That was impressive for a cat. In my experience, they usually want the owner to stop bothering them during attempted training.
