Do dogs understand elevators? Do they get that they’re moving up/down or do we just go into this magic box and come out somewhere else? #DogSky #ShowerThoughts #Dog

Just a quick note to those new here, if you think someone's post is worth other people reading, repost it. Liking it does not have the same effect here as on the dead-bird site. There is no algorithm. That's one of the reasons we like it.
