Dogs are colorblind, but if you call a a toy"pink stuffie," they can still associate the name with the toy.I’m in my 80s, so I have had many pets, especially while raising three boys. We always had dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and even a goat. I was raised in Southeast San Antonio, which was very “country” back then. We had dogs, cats, chickens and two horses. My daddy put me on a horse when I was 4 years old.
Dogs are so intelligent and fun if you interact with them and make them part of your life. I have Mitzi, a terrier-poodle I adopted from the Animal Defense League 10 years ago. I adopted Snuggles, a poodle-cocker spaniel, sometime later. She and Mitzi love each other so much. Since I have been widowed for several years, they have become my dear companions. They comfort me, although they can act up and be little “she-devils.
Here’s my question. My dogs have several stuffed toys. When I tell Snuggles, “Get your pink stuffie,” she goes to the box and brings it to me. Mitzi’s favorite is a Snoopy toy; when it’s playtime, she brings it to me but won’t let me have it. How do they know their favorites if they are colorblind? Is it by smell? I’m just curious about how my doggies know their toys by name.Taking care of a senior dog or cat comes with joys and challengesDogs are colorblind, and while their toys likely have distinct odors they can detect, Snuggles is not going after the “pink” toy because of its color but because you have named the toy she retrieves “pink stuffie.
