Dog vocabulary

[mowin]

Ours know all the usual stuff. Breakfast is obviously there favorite (use it for dinner as well). Spud will lay on my lap, and when I ask him wher his belly is, he immediately flops over and id belly rubbin time. I will hide Sammys squeaky toy and tell her to "hunt it up". Its amazing what they understand.

I once had an old rescue dog that knew hundreds of commands (i think) but chose to ignore all of them (maybe he was deaf?).:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Here is a pic of Diva jumping over Bruce....at night we tell Diva to "go get Bruce" so they can go outside...she goes into the bedroom where he is asleep and wakes him up and they both go to the door.....

Dog Intelligence

In an effort to keep ours from going "nuts" over the word 'treat' ... we started to spell it. Sadly, or maybe happily, we have now discovered that they can SPELL too! Daisy the dachsund is even smart enough to know when I spell it wrong ... -T-R-E-A-T gets a reaction while -T-R-E-E-T only gets an ear twitch.

Dogs are great! Best Regards ... Ann

Along similar lines. My two cats are also acclimated to the word "treat" or "catnip." They will instantly stop what they are doing and line up side by side awaiting the treat.

If I want it to be a surprise, I will go for the "T's" or "C's." They have not figured out spelling yet. Our dog friends seem to have it on that account.

Our two little guys have learned when we put on our Packer jerseys it's time to go to my sister's house to watch the game. They get so excited when they see we have them on. They run to the door and back to us like they are saying "hurry up already".

 

[Pandy]

Well, me too

though some verbalize...they do with there expressions and actions. Have had dogs all my life, well till a few months ago. They have all been unique and special in their own ways. Love them but don't know if I could loose another....ah but I do have a three wheeled spyder..!! :yes::yes:

Aw, c'mon yes,it's hard to lose a furbaby but in the end you'll outlive all but your last one. That's what keeps us going back for more.

[Bob Denman]

They may only be here for the shortest time... :shocked:


...But they enrich our lives, and make us better people! :thumbup:

The last thing that any of our beloved pets would want; is for us to be unhappy.
Celebrate the joy that they brought to your life...
...even if it seems to hurt a little bit to do so.

 

[Chupaca]

Perhaps..!!

Not crazy about outliving them or leaving them behind but time heals all and I may get another....:dontknow:

Aw, c'mon yes,it's hard to lose a furbaby but in the end you'll outlive all but your last one. That's what keeps us going back for more.

[Bob Denman]

I understand fully... :thumbup:
You obviously still have lots of love left to give to them!

:agree: Pets deserve a good home and good people. They do give us so much in return. Their time seems to go by very fast and most of the time we outlast them. It is sad to see them go, but I try to think of the good times they brought to me.

I actually appreciate the two friends I have a bit more than I did before the recent passing of my cat Cinnamon.

Have you ever noticed; that a new pet never actually replaces an old friend...
They just sort of end up finding their own special spot in your heart! nojoke

Right on. Each one is "special" in their own way. :yes::yes:
