OMG Artimis is such a cutie! I know I'm a bit bias, but this is adorable and I just kinda had to brag a bit that my dog is NOT stupid!
People think Artimis is a stupid dog because we couldn't teach him to shake, or he sometimes doesn't understand if we throw something straight it will land in that direction just a little further away. lol He's gotten much better on that by the way!
He also does not understand he can CATCH things as they are thrown to him, he just lets them hit him in the face and drop to the ground and then eats them.
BUT we've proved them wrong! Art now has two very neat tricks under his belt!
If I tell him "go get me my shoe" he will go and grab MY sneaker (which is about his size rofl) and bring it up to my hand and let go. He will even jump up to put it in my hand! And then I tell him to get my other shoe and he grabs my other matching shoe from a big pile of shoes!
And if David tells him the same thing he will grab only David's sneakers! It's amazingly cute considering how small he is! He can fetch a bunch of other things now too, but the shoe one is most impressive! :lol-sign:
His other neat trick is to close the door. He runs and actually leaps off the door to close it. That is not a stupid dog!
I just wish I had a camera to show everyone!!
