Mine can certainly manipulate me, I try to resist but fail, even the vet reckons she's trained me superbly.

My goldfish keeps mouthing my name at me to get my attention.

Don't know how it knows my name is Bob.

I'm having trouble with the word 'evolve' here mind. Would it not be fairer to say that humans have bred dogs to include characteristics that are appealing to us?

Don't mention showering with your dog. Somebody on here did, but I think he got away with it.

Well, this trait hasn't been observed in wolves, which apparently all domestic dogs are descended from (not convinced meself), so as far as we know it had to evolve.

No I only wishfully think about showering with a bloke.

Yeah I remember reading something years ago about how cats meows are purely for humans.

No I only wishfully think about showering with a bloke.

I bet that wish is much less concerned with the quality of the shower and much more concerned with the quality of the bloke
