If you could make your pet understand one thing, what would it be?
Wouldn’t it be nice just once to have Doctor Dolittle skills to tell your pet what you would like them to know and have them actually understand it?
Eddie Murphy is a genius at times, and with this portrayal of Dr. John Dolittle,(1998) hysterically funny as well. He narrowly misses hitting a dog with his car one night, and the dog yells, “bonehead!” And suddenly Dolittle is able carry on a dialogue with animals.
This would be a real treat for me with our little shih tzu. Now, just over 2.5 years old, she still randomly potties in the house. There is no rhyme or reason for this, and my theory is she just wants attention. It seems when we simply do not make her the center of our universe, she takes it out on us by doing her business inside.
And it’s not like she doesn’t have a nice yard to do her business, or that it’s hard to get out of our home to take care of that. When we moved in we installed a doggie door because our older shih tzu had mastered the art of going outside through a doggie door several years before. It took our newest one not more than a few minutes to learn how to go out and come in without our assistance.
It would just be nice at times, when I look at this dog and say, “go outside” that she wouldn’t just stare at me like “what?”
In some ways I believe she understands exactly what I’m saying, and why I’m saying it, but she’s just being stubborn, and thinking “bonehead!”
As I was saying...
