You never forget the smartness of some. From childhood on we had Flaps(pure English blue roan Cocker Spaniel), Scottie(Fox Terrier, smartest dog in the world) LOL, Bismuth(a rather aggro cross bred black dog), my first Tammy(a sheltie) and oh dear, I can't recall the next one's name, a Kelpie cross belonging to my brother really, Bluey I think it was, and his cat, Muffin. Muffin was lovely, he used to like smelling the flowers if mum had a vase full of them anywhere. I just let rip once I got married and had my own place, have had 20 dogs since then, and 6 cats , plus ponies, sheep, birds etc.. That's over a lot of years though.
