When Zeke was a much younger fellow I tested his counting abilities. Hold up one finger, one bark. Two fingers, two barks. Spot on (pun intended) like that until he reached six at which point I switched back to one and he barked once. Two for two, three for three. A miracle! It was after reaching three that I paused to mentally add up the millions we'd be making on the Counting Dog World Tour. I was still holding up the three fingers...Zeke continued to bark. Seems that what he'd really been doing was barking as long as I held up fingers. Of course when he reached the right number I'd lower the fingers. A good trick, but not world tour worthy.
