He's Smarter than a Fifth Grader

I have to tell you how cute and smart my little dog is. Read on, and you'll have to agree that he's smarter than your honor student. (Just kidding. Kinda. But I do hate those bumper stickers.)

Yesterday and today, many boxes came for Keith. He's working on a project; I'm responsible for inventory when the boxes arrive. When the UPS man left this morning's stack of boxes, I went to work by opening the largest of the boxes, which Monty could easily fit into.

It was filled with packing peanuts. Filled. Up.

I scooted the peanuts around enough to pull a decent-sized box out. As soon as I pulled the box out, Monty plunged his head into the box. Buried up to the neck in packing peanuts, he didn't knock one of them out of the box.

I checked the item in my hand off the list and looked to see what else I should expect in the box. Four cables. When I turned back to look for the cables, Monty was pulling his head out of the box. With one of the cables (in a plastic bag) in his mouth. At that point, I gave him my pen and let him finish the inventory job.

I don't know why you sounded surprised about Monty's unpacking and inventory skills. After he learned to let your car windows down, anything is possible.

You are such a proud grandma. You think he can rule the world, don't you?

Monty is so smart that he has had me convinced on several occassions that you NEVER feed him and that he was on the brink of starving to death! :)

Not only is he smart, but he loves dinner time. Really loves dinner time. And breakfast. And snack time. He just has a very high metabolism. :)

Yes, he is. And he wants you to remember that.

Does he play scrabble?

He wants to, but without an opposable thumb, he has difficulty picking up the little tiles.
