Puppy Love

Dogs get off far too easily. Sit. Stay. Roll Over. Play dead. Come on, even I could do that. It's hardly stretching the limits of canine capacity is it? Let's lay down a challenge, what about Recite? Postulate? Sauté? There are too few puppies poised to pontificate, hardly a fido that knows his Dido (geez, the Queen of Carthage, not the singer), and instead of all that running around chasing sticks, when did you last hear an owner shout 'C'mon Rover! Reflect!' All I'm asking for is a little personal development here, to separate the doggies from the moggies, the klutzes from the muttzes. One day we may need a dog that can do more than just sniff.
