About The_MoUsY_spell_checker

I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.

I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.

By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

I've never heard of a dog, or any animal for that matter that was born mentally retarted.

Has anyone heard of an animal with a mental defect?

It is definitely possible for animals to have mental defects.

However, it's not going to be as obvious as mental defects in humans. Human children are supposed to learn to walk, talk, dress themselves, and many other things. Eventually they also have to go to school. A mental defect would be obvious as it would be likely to cause difficulties in one or more of these areas.

As for mental defects in dogs, while it might be possible to tell that there is something wrong if a dog behaves strangely, but if it doesn't stop the dog from living normally, then the owner might just consider it the dog's character. After all, any pet owner will probably tell you that their pet has its own unique character. If the problem is serious, then the dog might not be able to live normally (as in not being able to eat its food by itself), and these dogs are usually put down.
