Sometimes he spends over a half hour carefully moving them around until he has everything set up right in his mind.
When we go to bed at night, he also takes security very serious. He will stay awake and sit at attention guarding his "pack" (DW and I), and the only time that he will stand down is if I tell him that I have the first watch and he can go to sleep.
Long story short, I wasn't feeling great last night and went to bed before him. Since I was asleep and didn't tell him that I had the first watch, he took it upon himself to set up a full squeaker-net outside the bedroom door to keep everyone safe. When I got up for one of my frequent bladder trips to the drivers lounge, I stepped on a land mine (rubber squeaker frog toy) that he intentionally placed in the bedroom doorway. He woke up in full attack mode, and my DW jumped when she heard the squeaker alarm and dog.
He is the smartest animal that I've ever met, and never ceases to amaze me.....

That is just impressive behavior. He’s set up a whole trip wire system.
Was just reading a book on Khe Sanh and your post and the book reminded me of this meme
