Holy crap, 2005! I think I'm the one that needs to get off the computer. . .
That's pathetic, I'm lucky I don't have a boss that would bitch about how much time I spend on the internet every day.
But, then again none of you guys would have the enjoyment of my mean spirited ribbing all the time.
I'll pull a Vince P. at 3000.

Lisa,
Ok, this might be a little simplistic, but can you be sure when you put the helmet on the shelf there was not a strap dangling off the side of the shelf? I think that would be enough to tempt him (and my lab too!) to bring it down off the shelf and have a chew fest. I don't know about the poop though, could be the standard laxative they add to bicycle helmets these days. Joking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Michelle, yes I am absolutely positive that there was no strap hanging down. The counter is 42" tall, and the helmet was in the center. He would not have been able to see it unless he was counter surfing, which wouldn't be unheard of, I suppose. I learned a very scary lesson when he ate the whole package of chocolate cookies that someone had left out (that's another story, but suffice to say, I have never been more relieved to hear a dog fart in my entire life).
VanCamp, I'm feeling much better now; ate lunch a few hours ago, and now I'm enjoying a Mirror Pond. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> And yes, I still think dogs think, but obviously we have different ideas of what thinking is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Do I think they ponder the mysteries of the universe? Um, no. Do I think they have the ability to solve problems? Absolutely.

Ron, I don't see problem solving as synonymous with something that must be figured out the first time. I think dogs solve problems through trial and error, much like a human putting a jigsaw puzzle together. You don't get it the first time, do you? You have to try different pieces and see what works.

whatever happened to the general, scientific ,concencus , that "thinking and problem solving" were absolutely reserved for bipedal animals, with larger brain capacities?

We were out walking along our lakefront some years ago with our male GSD who just loved to carry very large, long heavy logs around. He found this really long one and as he was trotting along he came to a bridge that was too narrow for him to pass with the log being carried sideways in his mouth. He bounced off the rails of the bridge a couple of times then dropped the log and sat for a minute and looked at the bridge. Then he got up, grabbed the end of the log and dragged it over the bridge. At the other end, he dropped it and picked it up to carry it back to the car.
He did all this without a word from us. I have to say he sure looked like he sat down to think about his little problem and came up with a solution.
