Here's one for everyone. We all know our newf's can be really goofy and ham it up for people, but oftentimes we don't give our canine love's credit for being really clever and/or smart (except for their ability to drool on the most evil of people). So, choose one incident where your darling furbaby('s) showed extreme cleverness or smarts to work a situation, work something out, etc. And the reason why I only ask for one is because I know there will be thousands of incidents, but I think we'd like to hear of the one that sticks out most in your mind.
Here's mine. One night during the dead of summer, probably around 3AM...you know, when the house seems to be the warmest. Jordan came upstairs and woke my husband. Not me, my husband. My husband thinking Jordan wanted to go outside takes him downstairs to the door. Jordan sits, not a normal behavior when he wants to go outside. My husband opens the door and Jordan still sits, looking up at my husband. My husband then asks Jordan what's up, what do you want? Jordan looks up at the thermostat, then my husband, then back at the thermostat. My husband is thinking there is no way this dog knows what this thing is on the wall. But he decides to humor the dog. So he moves the lever until the a/c kicks on. Jordan gets up, walks over to his sleeping spot and lies down. My husband picks his jaw up off the floor and comes back upstairs. Tells me about this in the morning. Jordan has never done that again.
