In which Az is unexpectedly helpful

[bunn]

I almost can't believe what Az just did. Tara Banana was puffing and blowing a bit, and I was just making coffee and not really paying attention to her.

So, Az gave me his most withering expression, stood up, turned the handle, and opened the patio door so that Tara could go out for a wee. He didn't go through the door himself, he just opened it, pushed it open and stood there waiting for her to go out.

Honestly the longer I know that lurcher the more impressed I am. He is soooooo clever!

And I read a study today that said that pigeons are more intelligent than either. However, since it was a book all about how wonderful pigeons are - heroes of warfare, enshrined in world mythology etc. etc. - it perhaps counts as a biased source. However, they can, apparently, tell the difference between Impressionists and Picasso, and between Baroque music and modern stuff, and are one of "only four species" that can cope with the concept of a mirror.

Although arguably opening patio doors is a rather more useful application of intelligence.
