Role Reversal

I know border collies are a smart breed, but this is getting ridiculous.

Tonight, Dexter decided he wanted to play fetch with me. But not the usual Foodgirl throws Dexter toy, and Dexter runs after it sort of fetch. He wanted me to do the fetching. He picked up his rubber jack toy, and dropped it at my feet. I tossed it to him. He caught it. The he "threw" it, a little further away, ran back to me, did a little "you know what I am trying to tell you" dance, and ran over to the jack, looked at it, then ran back to me and looked at me expectantly. Because he also thinks I'm kind of slow. I am pretty sure Timmy is not stuck in a well somewhere, nor was there any trouble at the ol' mill. He was trying to engage me in play.

Maybe next April he'll be smart enough to do my taxes.
