I love my dog. He’s almost always happy and loving and playful. But bless his heart, he’s not too bright. However, he’s the only dog I’ve ever had that is not able to distinguish the difference between television and real life. If he sees a dog on television, he barks at it. We just started watching "Northern Exposure" and the opening credits where a Moose walks through town gets him every time.
A couple of weeks ago I was watching “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and a pack of coyotes began howling on the show.
As soon as the howling began on the show, my dog lost his mind. He began barking and pacing. It took 10 minutes to calm him down.
But upon reflection, perhaps I’m not giving my dog enough credit. He heard a threat and he was bound and determined to find it and scare it off. In hindsight, that seems pretty smart to me.
Texas baseball head coach David Pierce has probably done some pacing of his own this last week and maybe even barked out a few instructions as well. That seems pretty smart to me as well because after his past week, I swear I hear some howling off in the distance.
