Duncan...and a bag of chips!

Ok, this picture from a couple months ago says it all. Dogs might be stupid sometimes, but they sure are resourceful.

My old friend, Duncan the Wonder Dog, has been around for 16 years now, and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Just as spry as when he was much younger. And just as clever…but you be the judge of that.

So, I was having a snack attack one afternoon in my little basement office, and I rolled up the empty victim bag–Utz Sour Cream and Onion–and tossed it into the trashcan. Had a brief thought that Duncan might get a notion to…nah, not Duncan. He’s usually good. So, out I go to dinner with my honey.

Later that nite, I come back down to let him out. I usually get greeted at the basement door, if he isn’t snoring. I call to him. All I hear is “pant-pant-pant.” Call him again to come go potty. More heavy panting. So I walk into the office, flip on the light, and here sits my Wonder Dog with his head stuck so deep inside the bag he can’t figure out how to get it out.

Now, by this time, I’m laffin’ my ass off proper. Luckily the camera was close by.

Click.

So, while I give him high marks for getting the bag unrolled and knowing to get to the bottom of the bag where there were some good bits left, he gets major fail points for not getting out of the bag once I called him. Hence, the embarrassing shots, and the pain in my side from crackin’ up big time.

Love my dog. He keeps me laughing still at his ripe old age.
