Daddy's Calling

Today we're going to talk about the telephone. What does that have to do with Chihuahuas you ask? Good question.

Anyone that owns a Chihuahua will tell you how smart they are. Show them something a couple of times and they have it.

Well, as I've said before, my fiance' is a truck driver so he calls home a lot. Rebel knows when I'm on the phone with "dad". I can be talking to anyone else in the world and he ignores me. BUT, the minute dad is on the phone, he's right there with his head cocked off to the side and tries to get his head between me and the phone.

He will sit and listen to dad talk forever. If I'm not fast enough handing him the phone, he'll start pawing at my chin to get my attention.

He can be moody all day, but the minute he has "talked" to dad, he's back to his old self again.

And don't think for one minute that he doesn't understand what you say. All his dad has to do is tell him he is on his way home, and Rebel sits in the window and waits...and waits....and waits.

And people call dogs "dumb animals". I don't think so :)
