Had a post up last week about our poor little Westie having a mild stroke. she's doing great and you wouldn't think anything had been wrong with her, But she's been playing the wounded soldier, picking the best spot on the couch then giving the sad eyes when you try to move her, looking sorry for herself when she wants more treats.then she's up and at the door before the other 2 as soon as she hears Mark getting their leaders

Crafty little git!

So how Clever is your pets?

Glad westie's on the mend.,I have two chickens and they are wily and hysterically funny. I sowed some grass seed to cover an area they dug up, and put netting on to protect it. Looking out, one was holding the corner in her beak while the other ran in and had a scoff, then they swapped.

They are little buggers but half the time Im laughing too hard to tell em off.

One of cats is a smart little cookie, the old dear has learnt how to open the kitchen door by jumping at the handle and swinging it open. The little one isn't smart really but she's pretty lol

The bearded dragon just practises his scary stare lol

I am looking after my sisters two Alaskan Malamutes just now, they are very smart and don't play ball, you throw a ball, you go get it.

They are hard working and rarely tire of exercise and only downturn is they still have the "hunting" instinct where they will take off after anything with 4 legs.

They are strong minded and like to be boss, they are a lot of work but in return you reap great rewards

P.O. Box DE1 0NQ

I have had the pleasure of owning 3 generations of Border Collies, which are known for their intelligence. The last one though was a right old Houdini and kleptomaniac. I used to live in a village and had quite a large garden, during the summer I would leave the back door open 24/7 so he could go up the garden and do his business when I was at work.

After I thwarted his high jumping the fence antics by adding another 2ft of chicken mesh to the fence panels, I then had to spend another weekend putting slabs round the bottom of said fence after he burrowed his way under it

Often he would bring all manner of shit home. I have returned items of clothing from peoples' washing lines, a jar of fishing bait, a bicycle pump, a trowel and countless other bits % bobs

I never did find out where the garden gnome came from though

I used to keep rats. One of my older girl rats kept beating up a new baby rat I'd got.

Every time I'd take the younger one out and give her fusses. I was worried I'd have to separate them.

One day I saw what was ACTUALLY happening.

The older one was relaxing, half asleep on a hammock high in the cage.

The younger one crept up, jumped on her head and ran off.

The older one ignored it.

So the younger did it again.

Older one ignored it.

This went on several times until the older one finally lost it and went to beat up the younger.

The little sod! And I'd felt sorry for her!

Try owning a dachshund!

Everything is a mind game with them, infamously stubborn and independent thinkers which makes them a challenge to train.

They are amazing though.

I have 2 naughty Patterdales. They're very cunning and absolutely wonderful at puppy dog eyes. They wouldn't win Mastermind though.

Sounds like the one my parents had, she scaled a 6 foot fence so she could go and see my mum when she was in hospital. The family used to camp in Anglesey, every morning she would slip her lead and go on the scrounge for scraps from the previous nights BBQ.

She was a bit of a mummy to kids, when we got too far away from our parents she would push us over so we would go crying to mum. She did this to a group of kids on Southport beach, during the air show. One of the kids dad's was watching her and thought she was funny for doing it.

Her party piece was when there was a party, she would farther then if it smelled slowly walk out the room, leaving everyone else to blame each other.

Our current dog is not too dumb, a rescue Shih Tzu. She is cute and knows it, she uses the puppy dog eyes to get just what she wants.

My Lou Lou - she's actually Lily and she's my mum's cat, but I call her my Lou Lou as no one else calls her it - is super clever and super gorgeous.

She was sat in the middle of the kitchen the other day, and I said to her "Lily you've not finished your tuna juice yet!" and she instantly looked up at me, sighed in a resigned way and pottered back over to her dish to finish it.

She also goes by the toddler approach of when she doesn't get her own way she acts up, as any attention is good attention in her book... she was bloody ten in March, she should've grown up by now.

Our cat is not clever, she likes you to cover one ear to stop the draught blowing straight through.

I used to have two Tonkinese cats. I used to throw their toy mice across the room and they picked them up and brought them back to me. I'm sure they thought they were dogs! A lot of fun to watch and kept me laughing, bless them, I do miss them both.

Sorry Ali .....

I had a Welsh Collie as a girl. Highly intelligent. Capable of the most amazing understanding, interpretation and actions and so was the dog.

As a woman I had a Heinz 57. He looked exactly like a Jack Russell but grew bigger than a Rotty .. and so did his owner.
