That's a Pretty Smart Puppy

Years ago, a few months after my first dog died (Siberian Huskey/Chow 13yrs), I got a new puppy. I was living in a motor home and this little Alaskan Malamute/Wolf hybrid was a blue-eyed handsome boy.

We were in Indiana in July and it was extremely hot. To protect the puppy, I took to leaving him in the motorhome with the air conditioning running.

At two months, he was already housebroke, but I was used to a 13 year old's bladder, and one day forgot I was dealing with puppy bladder. He'd been in the motorhome for a couple of hours, when I went in to check on him.

That's when I found that he had drunk all the water in his water dish, then scooted it out into the middle of the floor. Then he had evidently stood over it because the water dish was full of urine!

You gotta admit, that was a pretty smart puppy!
