My roommate and I hit an understanding.

Being Mexican, part of their culture growing up is learning from their own mistakes. If they want to touch the stove top so bad, the parents let them, so they can learn. At least this is what my roommate told me.

So I explained to him that to some extent, dogs are like children, yes, but with severe short term memory loss. We had watched Finding Nemo + Dory (I love those movies) and I told him to picture the puppy like he is Dory. Extremely high energy, very excitable, eager to please, and in seconds will forget whatever it was that was happening before.

So let's say the dog chews a remote and poops on the floor at the same time. A noise happens that distracts him. He checks it out. Owner is coming home. All come back to the crime scene. "Whoa! Who did this!??" *sniff* "Oh... oh that's my poo. I did this... why did I do that?" *sad puppy*
