Dogs Who Are Smarter Than The People Who Own Them

The dog's name is Missy, and she's a terrier. She refused to eat her Iams's, so her owner decided to try an old moms' trick...

"Elaine Larabie said yesterday she ate some dog food last week in an effort to convince her terrier, Missy, to do the same."

I wonder if she did the spoon-as-airplane-and-tongue-as-runway-in-mouth-as-hangar thingie. I've seen moms try that with infants, and I've always interpretted the look on the infants' faces as, "Mooooooom, fer crissake, gimme a break! What did you do before airplanes were invented? Get that crap outa here!"

"The mealtime routine continued for about two weeks, until both got sick."

I guess Missy just gave up and realized that if she didn't open her mouth at least once, she'd never get any rest. It's gotta be tough being not only smarter than your owner, but smarter and smaller.

"Initially, the devoted dog owner did not think dog food made her sick. 'I thought I caught a virus, but then I realized I ate the food, and put two and two together,' she said."

Is she blonde? I'll bet she's blonde. Bottled blonde. All those chemicals slow down the synapse development, y'know.

Somebody please tell me this stupid broad doesn't have any children!
