Traps Himself in a Room on Purpose. Brat.

My corgi does something weird, and I wondered if anyone else's dog does it:

He will go into a room and shut the door on himself. He then immediately barks so that we will let him out. I think he does it just because he knows that we will do it for him, and it makes his feel good about himself.

Anyone else's corgi do something like this?

How about telling time?? We have always fed the dogs at the same time, so as it gets close to 4:00pm Bucher starts reminding us that it is time to eat! My girlfriend was over and she gets such a kick out of it. She has had dogs and they never could tell time. Corgis are sooo smart!!! If I have the dogs at work, Bucher goes to the little frig and does the same thing as 4:00 gets closer!

At least the corgis get used to the time change twice a year! Our doberman still thinks we should get up at 5am instead of 6 and feed her at 4pm instead of 5 and it has been over a month...

LOL....yep they definately can tell time...I remember a few years ago changing feeding time because I thougt we were feeding him too late, as he would bark and bark, until he was fed, then when he did the same thing when I changed his feeding to an earlier time, I figured out that it doesn't matter what time I feed him, he will want it the same time every day...and starts reminding you when the time gets closer lol. Gotta love corgis :)

Brody too, 5:00 starts the "stare down" 5:10 little "hoofs" with little puffs of air coming out his mouth, 5:20 full on barks, 5:30 sitting in his spot. Lilly relies on his telling time I don't think she'd care much when we feed her.

OMG, us TOO. And they wake me at precisely 5:50 every morning (my alarm is set for 6). Standard time, saving time -- they never vary. Up for breakie at 5:50 and dinner on the DOT of 4. I work from home, and at around 3, they sit sort of near my desk, and inch closer and closer, so by 3:59, they are right at my feet, looking worried that I might have forgotten something....
