So Jake glanced at the sign, walked on by, and I assumed he was heading to the next yard. But he stopped suddenly, turned around, went right up to the sign, took a good look at it, sniffed it just to be sure, and then pooped right next to it.
I could see the wheels turning in his brain. It was like he had a little thought balloon above his head. His reading of the sign?
“Poop Zone.”
I’m serious. It’s scary. My dog can read. And follow pooping instructions.



Smart doggie. Good doggie.
Hilarious doggie - with the social commentary. You can see him thinking, “This is what I think of your sign.”
Well, Alicia, that’s what I think of the sign. I seriously think Jake thought the sign was telling him - poop right here. I did pick it up!
Love him!
Smart dog, dumb sign. Do THEY think the dogs can read?
Nah Steph. They think I can read. Silly them.
I know, Amber. You gotta love him. He’s a character!
Finally another animal as smart as my parakeet, Sparky. Sadly Sparky is RIP.
Love Jake.
Oh poor Sparky! Our parrot goes ‘poo’ on command as well. Smart creatures! Have fun on your vaycay Roberta!
