Dogs are actually the stupidest of creatures, not the most intelligent.
All domestic animals come from the wild. Dogs come from wolves who used to
howl at the moon and they asked and asked "Why are we cold? Why are we
hungry? Why do we howl at the moon?" and the Divine Being told dogs to seek
out man for warmth and food and comfort, and that one day he would return
and have an answer as to why they howl at the moon.
So wolves sought out man, and they became silly little pink poodles and
yappy lap dogs and they lost all their self respect in the quest for food
and warmth and comfort.
And when the Divine Being came back, they were ashamed.
Horses became man's servant, but retained their dignity.
Cats used men to get their food and warmth and comfort, but remained
independent and kept their respect.
Dogs are the fools of nature.

Don't you think that it takes intelligence to get along with people the way
that dogs do? Dogs seem to know just and when to buddy up, you know.
Like when they are making sad eyes through the window at the pet store.

Dogs are actually the stupidest of creatures, not the most intelligent.
If man is a "creature", I would certainly agree that dogs are not the
most intelligent creature (except in the case of some people).
However, man is the most, and the least, intelligent of all creatures.
For example, would a housefly come to the brink of world
annihilation? A housefly would not think of such a thing (i.e., a
housefly cannot think). Thus, man achieves the height of glory, and
the epitome of stupor, while unthinking creatures leer on in dumb
amazement. Man may someday colonize many planets, and have many a
celebrated venture, and many a fine sojourn; then in one moment,
caught betwixt hubris and vainglory, at the drop of a warcry he will
destroy all. Thereupon, a mangy pooch, suited up within a doggie
capsule, might utter the words, "Wuff... why?" which may reverberate
forever through a chagrined cosmos...
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and
I'm not sure about the former."
--Albert Einstein

other pets/ other rants
pigs: there have been articles in the newspaper about pot-bellied pet pigs,
apparently a porcine legacy of that obscure American--IndoChina incident (circa
late 1940s--1970s)
fish: there's nuthin better in a chinese restaurant than an aquarium of exotic
fish, except perhaps for the philosophical fortune cookies that come with the
check, and i also like "unsweet ice tea, please" just as the real natives drink
hampsters: their spin-wheel reminds me of exercise equipment, but without
exciting muzak & bland tv
canary, parrot: their birdcage liners may be either tabloid classy or the lowly
ny times review of the week, according to the federal mattresss & the liner law
do-not tear-off label regulation (well, the bottom of the cage is also known as
the "bed," ain't it? so the damn joke works)
turtles/alligator: i really miss those bring-something-back trips from florida,
because the colorfully painted little turtles and the alligator-in-the-box have
to be amongst petkind's cruelist ....wait...those live creatures were sometimes
actually mailed too, before they were eventually ... flushed (?)
and, finally, my cat now has me so well-trained that i will only drink out of
the spicket in the bathroom sink, the heck with her catdish water
.

Yes, cats are a law unto themselves.
Rabbits, oh boy, I love rabbits.

Robert, I had posted this under "BEING" but no one responded ...
perhaps I was being too whimsical. Any way, I think it is apropros
here.
"...I thought I'd comment on your reference to your dog being able to
say anything he/she wants -- justifying communication as essential to
being. This is my question: How much is another sentient being's
parley attributable to the
perceiver, verses genuinely generated by the creature? For instance,
when my cat utters "Meow" I believe he is using tonal variations for
that word and therefore has at least a half dozen different meanings
(he also creates combinations by tempo and volume and context), which
I have been slow to grasp with any sort of certainty but nevertheless
comply as best I can -- sort of hit or miss. Most often he seems
satisfied and I take that to mean I have finally comprehended his
drift. But just how much of this communication is me and how much is
truly deliberately produced by my big Tom Cat? And then, if you permit
me to generalize, do you think this is also true for the
conversational dynamics between homosapiens?"

i ain't the original provacateur, but had jumped with teeth bared-in-cheek at
his dogged anti-canine barking-rant
but now this gives me an excuse to brag about my cat, "beauty," and we think
she really is
meanwhile, i don't know ***** from linguistics, as my wife won't even allow me
to read her academic course papers on the complex esoteric education subject
because i have a grating-negative way of criticizing her grammatical errors
(can you believe this absurdity about me, the un-harbrace lower case jerk of
all time, though it's absolutely true)
but you're giving me an excuse to bore the victim (reader) about my relatively
intelligent kitty cat
i think she has an i.q. higher than 35, or whatever "they say" the average
cat's i.q. is supposedly
such is an example of anthropomorphizing, ...i enjoy using the a word even tho
i may be misspelling it (if not mis-using it)
but i know my cat is a pretty darn adaptive feline
because she effectively communicates to me in diverse ways
i know when she gets tired of being petted: she litely (usually lightly) bites
my hand
i know when she wants spicket water: she jumps up on the fake porcelan sink
vanity
i know when she's hungry: she meows and rubs against my calf /leg
i know when she's feeling ok: she purrs
i know when she scared or on guard: her wonderful huge tail waves back 'n forth
i know exactly when she really gets her dander up, and growls & screeches like
a....jungle cat, at another cat, which is violating "intruding upon/violating
her space/territory"
i know when she fears a dog: she goes to under a car, where the canine is
hopefully too big to get at her
now, would you please repeat/re-word your question so that my room-temperature
hominid instinct can respond more responsively by growling or purring et cetera
appropriately ?
p.s.
when she wants to go outside, she stands in front of a door
