Denali ate a banana right out of the peel. Amazing, I know. So amazing, I'm sure you asked yourself after my last post, "What else can that magnificent Siberian husky do?"

Well, now that you asked ...

Denali can obey the commands "left" and "right" when on a walk or run. Weeks of repetition of "left" and "right" when turning a corner have come in quite handy on our daily jaunts.

Denali can also manage to contort his body so that he can lie on the floor between the couch and the ottoman. The position can't be comfortable but every night, he's there - right under our feet - as we watch "Wheel of Fortune."

Denali can successfully "carry" a plastic bag for any messes he makes on a walk. (We just tuck it under his leash.)

But there is one thing Denali can't do - he can't figure out how to play with my exercise ball. I guess there are limits to his wonders.
