grins, goofy, psychology, and circularity

my lady human has been coming home rather tired these last few days. i notice it in the way she doesn't throw the ball with as much verve. she also seems to not be very receptive to my telepathy these days...so, i've been watching her a little closer. her eyes are a bit glassy, and what little fur she has (mostly on the top of her head) is a bit lack-luster...

she seems to spend much of her time away from home listening to other humans in work that is called counseling psychology...

this got me curious, partly because she speaks very evasively about what she's actually doing; something to do with confidentiality, but she does talk about how important insight is to humans, and so i poked around the internet to see what insights i might gain about myself...

i found this www.willowglyn.com/shelti.htm

warning: it has EXTREMELY annoying music, but you can turn that off.

of course, the thing is written from an EXTREMELY human-centric position, but i'm very accustomed to this way of thinking, you have to put up with it when living with humans...but what was very interesting was:

"Many Shelties grin...that’s right! Like a big smile on a person, Shelties sometimes bare their teeth in a huge grin."

and as i'm reading the article, i'm thinking, 'uh-huh, well, maybe, uh, hmmmm, oh, yeah, right, grinning, my humans grin, like a big smile, like me, right....there were other things there that i'll comment on another time as they aren't quite on target as to how we shelties really are, but to the smiling, yes, this, this is correct, my humans do smile just like me,' and i suddenly remembered that when i smile/grin, my human guy often says,

'hey, goofy!"

which is always a bit confusing, and i really mental telepathy to him, 'my name is VIDI; VIDI, VIDI, VI-DEEEEEEE' so i quickly googled 'GOOFY' to gain some insight like my lady human thinks is the magic answer to everything (such simple creatures...) and

i find these pictures, as well as my beloved wikipedia as a google result: Goofy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and i can hardly believe this one.....

the first line in wikipdeia reads, 'Goofy is a fictional character from the Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse universe. He is an anthropomorphic dog and is one of Mickey Mouse's best friends.'

ANTHROPOMORPHISM, FASCINATING...

as i read through it, i am struck by how no where in the entry is any warning about how dangerous this ANTHROPOMORPHISM might be or at the very least that this state, this, dare i say it, personality disorder, might be at the very heart of humans inability to receive my mental telepathy.....

seriously, folks, this is INSIGHT!!!

gotta go...i smell squirrel!
