Lucky to have a smart dog?

Someone told me this week that labs are the easiest dog to have because they are smart and can be trained easier. Well Emma was very easy to train so I guess that was good, but I am going to tell you why I disagree that they are the easiest dog to have.
Last night Justin and I were out front with Garrett. We had the sprinkler on and he was playing. The water pressure all of a sudden went down, which was weird. He asked me if I had the washer or dishwasher going and I said no. I thought there just must be a kink in the hose somewhere and even though we couldn't find it, it wasn't a big deal because Garrett liked the water smaller anyways.
Well they come to pick Garrett up and decide they want to come inside and see our progress on the bathroom. We come in and I look outside to see what Miss Emma is up to and I don't see her, but I see water all over our back patio. I just stood there for a minute thinking how weird that was, then Justin came in and I said well now we know why the water pressure was low it looks like the back water is on.
Then all of a sudden here comes this HYPER lab running around the conor slidding across the patio on the water like it was a slip in slide head to toe covered in mud. She was having the time of her life. Of course Kellie and Mom were cracking up but I was just looking in disbelief. She just had a bath so how in the world was she turned into a chocolate lab?
The answer? SHE LEARNED HOW TO TURN THE WATER ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are not sure if she did it with her paws or her mouth, but I guess she had watched where we had turned it on enough that she knew where to go. So next time you are debating getting a lab because they are so smart which makes them easy to train, rethink it! Their brains can work against you!
I would have a picture to post of her, but I was to worried about bathing her!

Till next time,
J & M
