Smart Little Yorkie Puppy

WOW! What a smart little pup!
She reminds me of a rescue dog, mostly Australian Sheppard, named Lucky, that I had many years ago. Lucky was so smart she could've been a circus dog. One day I decided to give her hand signals along with verbal commands. Soon, we were going through her routine with just little movements of my fingers. When the little kids in the neighborhood came around, I would show them Lucky and her tricks. I'll never forget the day when I told the kids that Lucky could count. I'd look at Lucky and say, "Lucky. If you had one bone and I gave you one more bone, how many bones would you have?" I'd move a finger, Lucky would bark. I'd move a finger again and Lucky would bark again. Two barks. Moving on, I would then say, "Lucky. If you had 3 bones, and buried 2 bones, how many bones would you have left"? Moving my finger, Lucky would bark once. I'd say, "No Lucky, I think you would have 2 bones left." The kids would jump up and down and say, "No, Mr. Andersen! Lucky's right! She'd have only 1 bone left!" One little girl would hold up three fingers and say, "Three, take away two (folding two fingers down), leaves one bone left." I'd scratch my head, rub my chin, and say, "Well, I'll be darned." Ăś Today, 20 years later, I can't help but wonder if those kids remember the dog that could add and subtract.
 
I'll bet they do, I would, as those are the best things of life;) I was just thinking that a "dog or other animals" brain is a terrible thing to waste. They are so smart, and I admire every pet-owner that takes the time to train them:) Thanks for the neat story b2t;)
 
Mighty cute! Yorkies are so cute! When I was grooming I more more Yorkies than anything it seemed.

I had a neat friend in Bellingham that was a groomer:) I just thought she was amazing a very knowledgeable. You know sometimes how you remember the silliest things about people? Well, she taught me how to blot my lipstick with my index finger, LOL!! Just put your finger in like you're gonna suck on it and it makes a tiny ring of excess lipstick, then just wipe it off. LOL!! She said it always worked for her, LOL!
