Stupid Dog
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Stupid Dog
Holy crap!!!! I think that lady is blogging about my grandparent's (and therefore, my) old German Sheppard. King was just sooooo stupid (loveable and soft as all can be, but stupid).
An example:
We came home one day and couldn't find him. "King", we called out. "King!". Soon, we hear faint whining from somewhere above us. We go up to my room...no King. We call for him again. We hear whining...again...above us. I look up into the attic. He is actually on the opposite side of the stairs, the poor thing was shaking..... He couldn't figure out how to get back on the correct side in order to go down the stairs; he was stuck looking down from a height. I felt so bad for him. We had a laugh, but I made sure he couldn't "explore" in my room after that.
