       Then what do you call thoughts about self Goo?

       You have failed to explain some things:   
      
    If you think dogs aren't aware they can smell, why   
   do you think they deliberately smell?   
      
    If you think dogs aren't aware they can hear, why   
   do you think they deliberately listen?   
      
    If you think dogs aren't aware they can see, why   
   do you think they jump up above tall grass deliberately   
   so they can see?   
      
   Here's a bonus failure question for you Goob:   
      
    Why do you think dogs are not aware that they   
   are in pain, when they are in pain?   
      
   Super extra bonus failure question:   
      
   Why do you think dogs are not aware that they   
   are hungry, when they are hungry?   
      
   Is it all voodoo to you Goo?
