We have 4 years old a 15lbs (supposedly) yorkie, but I suspect he has a some Silky genes in him. He is quite stubborn and impulsive, but well trained and smart.We don't want him accidentally eating something that will get him in trouble so he doesn't beg and moves away when we eat. So among things that Mux does and knows deserve the biggest punishment is eating stuff from the floor, so he will NEVER eat something that would drop to the floor.
Mux can understand quite a lot of words most dogs understand like "food", "can" and "can't" etc, but it seems to us that he often appear to understand what we say, so this incident got us quite puzzled...
My wife cleans the dinner table, and a piece of cheese drops to the floor as she moves to the stuff to the kitchen. Mux is laying in the corner and seemingly not paying any attention to it.
"Hey, a piece of cheese fell on the floor"
"Don't worry, Mux will eat it"
"He can't eat that!"
"Nahhh... He can..."
And Mux jumps and grabs the piece of cheese! I'm stumped because he would simply NEVER do that, at least not while we are around. So he understood that we were arguing over it and that my wife approved of him eating something off the floor!
Dow in the world...?
