Post your dog's airhead moments.
* Winston does this thing where he will somehow grab his leash about four inches from where it hooks onto his collar. And then he somehow manages to loop it around his paw. So he's growling and freaking out and going crazy with the mean old leash firmly between his teeth, holding his own paw up off the ground and thinking the leash is some evil mysterious force holding him prisoner.
* The round footstool in the bedroom is his stepstool up to the bed. When he's invited up, it's right at the edge of the bed. If he's not, it's in the corner. I swear to goodness, every time he jumps up on the stool, no matter where it is, he expects to find the bed right in front of him. He looks at us like, "What happened? Where am I?" and tries to gauge the distance to see if it's jumpable (never is).
Then again, he did have a very sneaky rocket scientist moment earlier... my husband accidentally dropped a couple of wontons on the floor and I guess missed one under the recliner. We were watching a movie, and Winston yelped from the hallway, so I went to check on him, and of course ended up snuggling him. I took him out to the sofa, where he snuggled with my husband, and I got on the sofa, too, planning an all-out snugglefest. The second I sat down, Winston leapt off the couch and ran for the recliner. He's too big to really fit under it, so he was wriggling like mad, trying from all sides. I didn't know what he was after until I'd picked him up and returned him to the hallway, and then I saw the big prize -- the cheese fried wonton he'd just dug out. He must have seen it from the hallway and been plotting for it all that time... and we thought he just felt like snuggling.
