There was something from DB at some point about why the dogs weren't part of the uplifted species on Earth. Something about them being uplifted to where they could finally open doors, and then door technology changed drastically, and this affected their emotional well-being or something. If anyone could provide the exact quote, or tell where it is for interested parties to look up, that would be great. I'm a bit fried right now, for a number of reasons, including the following.If we have the dogs outside and want to *keep* them outside (or at least keep the darn door closed) we have to lock the outside door now. Our outside doors in this new house all have levers, and this past week, the dogs figured out how to open at least one of them to come inside. Sigh.
My cats clearly understand what the doorknob is for and how it works. Thank goodness they don't have opposable thumbs . . .
Then there was Spot who stood beside the door and very clearly said "Ouuuut?"
