Thanks Cindy

Love the stuff you post.
Have you seen the article in NG... yeah I broke my ban on them to buy anything NG for this article.

Would be the March of 2008 issuse and the article is Inside a Animals mind.Animals are smarter then we think. The dog in the article knows 340 words.

Now... I like Stanley he was most helpful to me and my girl as she went blind.
Fellow gave me some great advice and it works well.

Only thing I diagree with Stanley about is the ranking of dogs as to smart. Terriers are right up there.
What he did not concider when doing this research is the job the breed is bred to do and setting the dog up to show its smart based on that job.
Lot of breeds come up the rank if he had.

Otherwise I with him on being 2 years old if not older.
He is still a nice chap and I am thanlful for his supportive words through a tough time.
