Someone needs to make this

When I mention that Maisie (my #servicedog) does things that she wasn't necessarily trained to do and people ask for examples I can't always think of one as they're just part of life. But she JUST did something that I decided to share before it blends into the background with all the others.

Last night I lost my tweezers. Pete and I looked everywhere (except wherever they were obviously) and couldn't find them so we gave up. Since Maisie doesn't know the word I didn't bother to ask her to find them. However as I sit here having my coffee she came proudly up to me doing her butt-wiggle, tweezers in her mouth and ready to drop into my hand.

Yeah, it's stuff like that. Her training is extensive and targeted to my needs, but these are the things that, to me, show her true intelligence.

@Supernothing @oxblood I understand these Britbonics expressions. I watch Britbox all the time.

My wife asks me to translate often.

I first heard Britbonics in the classical piece of English music "Original Pirate Material" from Sir Michael Skinner of "The Streets" fame.

hey guys lets get #poastjuden trending

"The workweek as we know it today started with industrialization. When people no longer worked where they lived (remember that more than 90% of people worked in agriculture and as artisans - office workers worked at court or in monasteries) And unions were the ones to achieve worker protection, not entrepreneurs. People only started working really long hours when electric light etc made that possible. For the longest time, people would not work more than 5 or 6 hours a day. Until factory owners used their power to force their workers into inhumane hours and conditions and basically everyone became a slave to the clock and the machine."

Interesting. Makes me wonder what is ideal.
