I see my dog after a hard hour of lizard chasing relaxing by the screen door, tongue out, looking around, doing nothing.
What is it thinking? Perhaps thought is irrelevant to a dog.
During the lizard hunt I can imagine what is going through its mind. I guess because I have its objective in mind - to catch a lizard. From that I can fill in the blanks.
But when it is just laying down relaxing what objective does it have? What do you think is going on in that dog brain?
Is it calculating out what to do next? Is it in a state of nothingness, just letting its memories organize? Does anyone know?
