Tanda was one of the most intellegent creatures this
side of a human being I've ever known. Aside from the
basic tricks, she could sing and count...
Once evening while staying with my Mom, we had finished
dinner and were sitting around the table talking and having fun. Tanda was being her usual self, trying to be
the center of attention (she usually was). She got into
a barking fit and I was trying to get her to calm down
a little. Finally, I asked her "Do you want to go see
Dr. Howard and get your tail chopped off again?". She
stopped barking and looked at her tail and then at me
and said "nope".
If my Mom hadn't been there to hear it too, I wouldn't
have believed it. My little daisy understood much more
than we ever thought.
