Ours brings in packages from the UPS guy. He probably heard us talking and ordering something on line and thought when that gets here I’ll bring that in or
He’s watched that brown truck pull up and leave stuff my daughter let him bring in since he was a pup.

reasoning; noun: the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way. Logical: adjective: (relates to the object of a sentence); of or according to the rules of logic or formal argument. Formal: adjective: done in accordance with rules of convention or etiquette; suitable for or constituting an official or important situation or occasion. Constituting: verb: be (a part) of a whole. Well, I researched reasoning to get a clear picture of whether animals are or are not able to do it. Near as I can tell... I guess if your animal can: place the verb (constituting) with the two adjectives (formal & logical) assigned to the noun (reasoning). They can reason. If not. Nope. They're something else. Oh, and I just ran all this past Grace, my really, really really smart Brittany, and she kind of did that tilt her head to one side deal when I got finished, so I'm not sure what she's saying to me right now. I don't know Brittanese like some people seem to. I learned a bunch of Greek last year, but Grace's bloodline is from France and I can't understand that either. Blessings, Mark

It’s reasonable to think a reasoning animal could reason enough to avoid a reasonable set within reason of a reasoning trapper trying to catch said reasoning critter.

Did your uncle ask him if that’s what he was doing Or did he just assume that’s what he was doing.

Mark did you say that animals can reason but we can't understand there reasoning? It's been a looooong time since I studied what ever it is you just said. My pup made more since to me than what you wrote. Not questioning your intelligence only mine. If you said that to me I would have probably cocked my head as well. Especially early in the mornin. My pup ancestry is AMERICA think that'sthe diffrence?

My opinion is that they can be very efficient on picking up habits, but they don't understand WHY this habit exists...that would be my definition of reasoning.

One of our dogs is so "smart" she thinks I'm a different person everytime I smell different. Likes me one minute and hates me when I come back in the door the next. I really would like to know what goes on in her brain. Maybe she's just scizophrentic?
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
