Boy, my house is full of amazement these days!
While giving water to MoMo this morning, I had momentarily stopped to allow her to swallow what she'd stored in her beard and then push it down to her tummy. Well, apparently I waited too long because she suddenly stretched her neck towards the dropper, bumped it with the tip of her mouth, then licked it. Of course, I immediately complied and started dripping water into her mouth. Then, I waited again to allow her to swallow, and again she bumped the dropper. She did this three times!
Then, on Saturday, Zim amazed me with his ability to tell time, down to the second.
Starting at about 7:30'ish, Zim kept standing in front of his treat table and microwave, sniffing for something, then he'd walk into the kitchen and sniff some more. After so many rounds of this, I finally said, "Goonie, it's not time yet! You have to wait until 8:30 for your medicine." (which is a teaspoon of wet dog food mixed in to hide his incontinence medicine). Immediately after that, he went to his bed to lie down. I went back to what I was doing (pulling out kernels of corn from a bag of squirrel food), totally unaware of the time. Then, out of nowhere, Zim suddenly stood up, leisurely walked over to the microwave, and just stood there. I was prepared to give him another lecture about time when I glanced over to the cable box and realized that it was exactly 8:30pm. He had stayed down and quiet for more than a half hour, he even took a snooze. But when it turned 8:30, quiet time was over.
As scary as that was, I was quite impressed with his promptness. :roll:
