today was intelligence quotient testing day. for the dogs.
We’re puppy sitting this week for my sister’s dog, Stella-Bella. She’s be-u-tee-ful. And she’s sweet and obedient and soft and we like her.
And then there is Captain Jack Sparrow and he’s adorable and has a forever puppy look about him and he’s dirty all the time and we like him all right, I guess, but we have to live with him everyday and he makes my eye twitch sometimes. However, I like Jack way more with Bella around because they play. Oh my goodness they play. Two Jack Russells are way better than one. Definitely.
And I am by no means suggesting we get another dog. Ever.
Just so we’re clear.
So we were bored and just had to give both Jack Russell’s IQ tests today and it would appear that Bella isn’t as smart as Jack, which would definitely be in her favor if I were picking favorites. Jack is too smart for his own good and he makes me crazy and I think he can even open doors all by himself and he doesn’t even have opposable thumbs so this is pretty genius. Plus, I’m pretty sure he can do basic math and I prefer dogs that aren’t as smart as me. Or at least dogs who are as smart as me but don’t rub it in my face. Also, Bella doesn’t pee on her own legs and that’s got to count for something.
I wonder if there is some way to accidentally give my sister the wrong dog when she comes to pick Bella up because wouldn’t that be just tragic.

Ummmmm good try. But Bella is my baby! And she’s the smartest dog we got. Ok that doesn’t say much. I do miss my Stelly Belly. And I’m glad she’s doing well. By the way, she can ‘shake’, give ‘hi-fives’, and ‘stop drop and roll’. And she will ‘wait’ forever if you tell her to. She is VERY smart. Thanks for taking great care of her!!!!!!
What are you doing up at 1 am at Disney World? Are you mad? (crazy mad, not angry mad).
Yes, she waits. That was part of the IQ problem I think. She wouldn’t do the tests but instead would just sit there and stare at us. It was hilarious – we laughed the whole time because she was so, like, whatever.
OH yes it was very funny. For one we had to sit her down and then call her by a random name — like refrigerator — and see if she came. She looked at me like I had tentacles coming out of my brain.
So does Jack actually come when you call him random appliance names?
Yes. Yes he did.
They are both so cute!
