I can do a backflip and I can mimic most voices I hear. The mimicking is a special talent, according to my MH nurse. I used to have an almost photographic memory but recently I lost it, my memory is patchy now.
I do, since I was seven. I remember this because it led to a big fuss, the first time I wrote a poem. I didn't know what a poem was, teacher explained, I did it, nobody believed I'd written it myself.
It was very confusing.
Do you also write poetry?

Many dogs are not as you describe. Working dogs (real ones) just want to work and they will tolerate people who demonstrate respect and practice calm towards them....and if they allow them to work. Many of the principally non domestic breeds (real ones - huskies, bigger sheep dogs, guard dogs etc) just want to be with their own kind, in a pack - doing pack things OR on their own - guarding something.
People are often quite inconsequential to dogs, I feel. I understand why. Like us folk on these pages, they have learned to do what they need to do to keep a roof over their heads and their tummies full.....but generally, the ones I meet, seem pretty lonely and under-nourished in the human/dog matrix.
If I claim to be able to talk with them......then I trust you will understand when I feel compelled to advocate for them....because....the ones I've met are rubbish at a keyboard.

I can rhyme quickly too.

I can remember the lyrics of many songs.
Yes, me too - since I was a small child. I can also make up rhymes about anything, spontaneously.
Should've been a rapper maybe!
Wow! I’m jealous, I’ll just have to rely on my earplugs haha

It is indeed.
I was having my ears examined by a doctor in hospital and I mentioned to him about closing them.
He didn't understand so I did it whilst he was looking inside.
He said he had never seen it before
Closing your ears sounds incredibly useful for us sensitive to sound!
I can close my ears from the inside to deaden sound.
I can close my nose from the inside to eradicate smells.
I can have a nosebleed out of my eye (luckily only once!).
I have premonitions.
I am sometimes telepathic.
My dog is beautiful too, people love him on sight.
Well, he is very handsome, and he has remarkable eyes....
Humans judge on appearances, assuming all sorts of virtues for that which attracts them, and all sorts of failings for that which does not.
It's a remarkably superficial way to assess the world around you...
I agree with that. I never get talked to or approached, but people take a look at his eyes, then any inhibitions, on their part, melt-away.. which throws me and my dog right out of whack..
I think dogs want just to be with the people they love best, totally relatable
A random thought- dogs are humanising to others, I've noticed that I'm perceived differently because I have a dog, from when I hadn't...
Like it makes me more touchable (if that's even a word!)
It's the perception of others that's changed, not so much me...
We’re exactly a like each other I think.. we think the same thoughts and are on the same page, but he’s not on others page when I’m around, so that can get mixed results..
Probably - what he'd like is an order with him in charge. Not gonna happen!
'Get a dog' they said... so I did, a working cocker spaniel with ideas about his own superiority...
That'll teach me..
I bet your dog is lovely...
You should give him a doggy-gavel, I’m sure he’s merely calling for order..
There you go - animal communication, it's lovely when you understand each other. My dog is very vocal, all sorts of sounds. I'm sure he's actually trying to talk, as I do. On the rare occasions he tnesses me talking to others, he barks. I'm not sure he approves!
Dogs are so funny aren't they. Floppy can't do any commands you tell him to sit and he'll just fall on his tummy and looks at me with big eyes.
I love dogs they are lovely and best friends
I can do this partially with my dog. I tell him pointedly “Sit! And do not move one more time again Monsieur Bussington!” And he sits and is still. But the second I turn around he’s standing an inch behind me.. and everybody starts laughing..
That's very quick indeed...
I can type quickly. My words per minute are 108.
