He missed only like 1 in 100 tosses. The difference is that we were tossing food to him! One day my dad tossed a hard dog treat. It was a slow underhand, he wasn't trying to hurt him or anything, but the treat hit a tooth or his nose or something. After that for the last few years of his life he refused to eat a hard dog treat unless you put it on the ground (he would back away if you approached with one unless you called him very forcefully). I read a great book about animals called "Animals in Translation" written by a woman with autism (she also has a Ph.D.). One of the many interesting things she mentioned is that animals *never* forget a pain association. <BR/><BR/>By the way, this doesn't have much to do with your post, I just felt like talking about my old dog.DaveThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089110256513437793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-70486306584730756892007-02-26T07:12:00.000-06:002007-02-26T07:12:00.000-06:00Yes it could be that as well.

He continued to bark and growl for a few minutes even after I turned it off and for more than an hour he would go in and rumble at it occasionally to make sure it hadn't come back to life.<BR/><BR/>He is a total protection machine.Loretta Nallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10598106614871958352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16801508.post-34668424382254574432007-02-26T06:28:00.000-06:002007-02-26T06:28:00.000-06:00I've heard that dogs can hear sounds that humans c...I've heard that dogs can hear sounds that humans can't detect. Maybe the A/C makes a sound that is actually irritating to Saul, perhaps even one that cause him pain of some sort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
