I don't get it, either, Herc. Meant to respond to this sooner, but I've been grieving the rather sudden loss of a good friend.
I also don't get that many don't understand yet that these guys have individual personalities and emotions. Actually, I've read that scientists now think that dogs generally are emotionally equivalent to human three-year-olds. Don't know about that, though, mine seems a lot more mature. Seriously.
I hope you're doing better with your loss, Herc. Take care.
