Whenever my dog Skylar sees another dog, he gets really mad, and I have to reprimand him.
I know this sounds crazy, but today he lost it, looked at me, and kind of in a mad kid's voice said, "#%?! you! I know when and where you sleep, Daddy!"
I took a step back, eyes wide open. I couldn't believe I heard human words, not to mention the right language, from an animal! I was amazed by the intelligence that it took to exhibit a subtle threat like that. In English! Mind. Blown!
I mean, I get talking birds like parakeets and other bird species reciting things they've heard, but trust me, I've never recited those words aloud for him to even learn the phrase!
It took me back to those words in the Bible where the snake approached Eve about the apple that destined mankind to hell, and especially the donkey who talked back to Balaam.
Well, fortunately, I know I'm not crazy because there are a lot of God believing, Trump believing, and now Me believing people, out there who believe in talking snakes, donkeys, eagles, and now dogs, and pretty much anything else we say.
