If your dog or cat had opposable thumbs what new tricks would you teach them?

If my dog had opposable thumbs I would teach him to flick a Bic lighter whenever I sing so that I would feel like a rock star. Cheers and happy weekend!

  • Maybe dry dishes, I like washing them but not crazy about dry them some odd reason.

    I would teach my dog to pull off her own ticks.  Then I'd teach her to hold a bar of soap and the hose and wash herself.  Cheers!

    I would teach my cat how to get his own breakfast and clean his litter tray so he does not try to get me up so early in the morning. Cats would take over the world if they had opposible thumbs and would be our masters.

    Hello Scotslass. Are you in Scotland now?  We were in Banff and Inverness last summer and may return this coming summer.

    Well when you are there you can do a little name dropping and tell them that Nanoose friend of the Petrie Clan in Southern Ontario sent you. Cheers!

    I live in south eastern Scotland on the coast, but know Inverness very well.  I will be in Banff this summer for the first time.  I spend a week every June in Braemar, which is up in that part of the world.

    Not much, with opposable thumbs they could open up the Treat Jar.  Consequently I would be up on charges for having overwieght Labradors and my retirement savings would be drained.

    Now possibly I might be convinced to teach them to open a bottle of wine

    O'Gin o Clock does not start until Spring, in the weather  you are having now a wee dram is probably better

    I have parakeets.  I am certain they can do just about anything with those feet of theirs.  However....GETTING them to do anything unless they want to is beyond my ability.
