This is so true. How dogs figure things out really amuses me. For instance my dogs understand very clearly that if I am wearing my jacket to go to lab, or just to go to a shop nearby. If I am off to lab they go and sit in balcony before I leave, without me saying anything. If I am headed for shop same time of the day, they won't. I always wonder what is it that I am doing which gives it away.
When I get dressed, she smells my clothes asking. " dog park or work?"
