All my dogs are smart, I have taught them many things that they have easily mastered, and sometimes they just plain surprise me with something.
Today surpasses all those surprises.
Tuesday is garbage day for my neighborhood. For us that means we have to have our wheeled recycle container and wheeled garbage bin out next to the curb first thing in the morning so the automated truck can empty them.
I let the dogs out for their first potty trip of the day and Chudleigh stopped at the foot of the steps and stared at the blue recycle bin. They he looked back at me with a quizzical expression on his face, then deliberate turned his head slowly back at the recycle container and pointedly stared at it for a longer period of time before looking back at my face again. I had to tell him that although Tuesday is our garbage day since it is Christmas tomorrow will be garbage day, and I thanked him for being such a good boy to remind me to put the trash out.
I was totally blown away. I know my dogs can count, but I had no idea Chudleigh knew the days of the week.
