Would be nice if my dog could let himself out in the mornings to do his “thing” & pick up after himself – esp. in winter when all I want to do is stay in my warm bed…
I would like Gracie to do my taxes without cheating this time.
Bill and Gremily should learn to cook and clean up after themselves.
I wouldn’t need a partner and I could “take care of business”, if you know what I mean.
I kid.
LOL. I read this wrong. I read it as, what is something that a dog or cat can do, but, we can’t (and would like to).
I’d like my cats to be able to:
– hang onto their fur
– enjoy going to the vet
– calmly swallow pills
Willow should run the vacuum once in awhile – instead of simply “run from” it.
She could learn to cook me a meal once in awhile. (I might regret this wish, if it came true.)
Letting herself in would be nice. I don’t need to let her out often, and she’s hell to get in sometimes before I want to go to bed.
Learn to simply “look” out the front window, instead of “look and bark her fool head off”.
Yeah, cleaning up the back yard would be excellent.
The ability to pick up their own poop!
My dogs are cool. I like them just the way they are.
On the other hand, I would fucking love it if my cats were Laser Cats.
I, too, wish that my dog could let himself out when he needs to and then pick up his own crap. I know he laughs at me when I’m out there searching for every pile he’s made…and he makes quite a few because he cannot seem to poop in one pile: he has to make a trail.
I wish my roomie’s dog could tell who the actual people were who don’t belong in the flat. Whenever the front door opens she will bark her head off as if someone’s robbing the place for at least 3 solid minutes, even after she sees who it is and it’s someone familiar to her, even if it’s my roomie or me. She won’t be quiet on command and will keep barking until she wants to stop.
It’s driving me up the wall.
If only my cat pooped gold bars. I wouldn’t mind if he vacuumed every once in a while eiter.
I’d wish they could talk…what a time we’d have!
Marwyn the goose… ” Hey, how ‘bout a salad in the hot tub tonight?”
I expect Milo to be able and willing to dial 911 when necessary. The rest is dust.
The ability to wipe their own bums, and to wash their paws regularly.
Being able to use the toilet and flush.
@marinelife we tried not to teach that as cats don’t understand it’s unacceptable to flush while you sleep…however, our kitten watched us doing it. She now thinks all handles in the home (we have lever door handles) are toys for her to use. I’m implementing more posiitve reinforcement for cat toys now
Actually I also wish my dog would bark when he’s supposed to i.e. at strangers and intruders instead of people who come by regularly e.g. the mail carrier. My bike was stolen from my garage several weekends ago while I was at home (!) although I was probably upstairs doing stuff. Didn’t hear a peep or whimper from the mutt all that time; I cussed when I found out and all he did was look at me with a “What? That’s beyond my pay grade” expression…
Clean their own litter pans.
It would be cool if my dawg walked on her hind legs & spoke with a voice like Julie Andrews.
Then we could sing & dance & play & frolic…“The hills are alive…..”
Clean up their own poop/pee or neatly use a toilet.
Start the dishwasher and clothes washer as soon as off peak hours rolls around.
Scoot colored gravel back into their same colored landscaped beds outside.
Collect dropped citrus from the yard and dump them in a provided bin.
Kill pigeons and Mosquitos with their minds.
It would be great if Chaos knew his name…
Boy, my dogs are already trained to do amazing and wonderful things. They can find lost people, they can locate human remains. They know to come back and and lead me to exactly where the missing person is. They can find buried remains, and remains under water, and remains hanging from trees. They sit and down (and down in motion) and heel and speak and shake on command (water from their fur, not hands). They know which are the inside toys and which are the outside toys. One can open the fridge, bring me the remote, find my cell phone and keys. Pretty much if I dream it up and it seems useful or necessary, I can figure out how to show them what I need them to do.
The cat has taught me and NOT the other way around . . .
Only one thing – the ability to clean up their own damn fur! I don’t mind cleaning the litterbox or feeding them or taking them to the vet. But the hair they leave is enough to drive me insane!
To be 100% hypoallergenic.
I would love it if my dog could use the toilet ( I would have to get him a little kiddy toilet), bath, comb and clip his own nails (especially since he complains so much about it) and put his toys away.
It would also be great if he could just come right over to me and give me the dam ball when he wants to play catch, instead of dropping it at my feet or playing keep away with it. He can be such an ass.
The ability to fly. Five flying cats all around my house would be awesome.
