Lenni, my dog, is in the depths of despair over his family. He is seven years old and he has spent a lot of time on teaching tricks to us. So he normally gets a biscuit before going to bed from my dad. In my grandfather's cupboard are always biscuits, too and Lenni has teached my grandfather to give him a buiscuit everytime he "tells" him. Wanting a buiscuit Lenni sits down in front of my granddad, licks his chops and looks first to my granddad and then to the cupboard. And as my granddad is perfectly educated by the dog, he gets up to give Lenni a buiscuit.
These are only examples, he has teached a lot of tricks to a lot of people.
But in the moment, he's ill. He's having a gastroenteritis and so he isn't allowed to eat anything else than specific dog foot.
As a consequence he's totally wired. Nothing works. There's no buiscuit before sleep, no slice of bread in the morning - unbelievable to him. Of course, he get's a handful of his dog foot instead of his slice of bread in the morning or the good-night-buiscuit. But that simply doesn't count to him.
So he was already wired, when we went to my grandparents on saturday. I think, before we arrived he had hoped that everything will be alright over there, because he had educated my grandparents in such a perfect way.
He ran in, sat down in front of my granddad, licked his chops and looked to the cupboard - but of course nothing happended! So he licked his mouth again, looked to my granddad and again to the cupboard. Nothing happened. Then he started to walk over to the cupboard, back to my granddad, nudged him and looked to the cupboard. Nothing happened.
It was so funny. One could see, that Lenni was thinking hardly about this. He couldn't understand it. Everyone has forgotten everything.
So he tried again - went to the cupboard and back to my granddad, nudged him, sat down in front of him and looked at him. This time he started to make a noise, something between chunter, moan and whine, and he started to move his head like one of those intelligent dolphin in the films, waving with his head to show something to someone or to guide someone in the right direction.
A few walks to the cupboard and back later, he started to bark and tried to pull my granddad to the cupboard.
But nothing worked. He gave up and laid down, totally despairing because his stupid family had unlearned everything, he had teached to them, within a few days......
