Every afternoon around 6:00 pm my 2 Brits. start their antics to urge

door. If I go to the door they run out to the garage where the wing is.
If that isn't anticipation in dogs then maybe you just have the wrong
definition of the word.
Have you ever heard of "Pavlov"?

It's worse than just this. For some unexplained
reason, Goobernicus wants people to believe that:

"Animals cannot be or feel disappointed." - Goo

"Non human animals experience neither pride nor
disappointment. They don't have the mental ability
to feel either." - Goo

"No. Animals do not experience frustration." - Goo

"Dogs NEVER anticipate, nor do cats, or cattle, or any
other animal you've ever encountered." - Goo

"Animals do not experience pride or disappointment.
Period." - Goo

"No animals anticipate." - Goo

"Anticipation requires language." - Goo
