I had a friend who used to say that it's not important what you say, it's important what the other person hears. So true. What about our pets? Do our dogs and cats understand us when we talk to them? Here's what I think it's like when we talk to our pets.
WHAT WE SAY TO OUR DOG SPOT
Good boy, Spot. That's a very good boy, Spot. Go fetch the ball, Spot. Good boy. Here's a treat for you, Spot. You're a good dog, Spot.
WHAT SPOT HEARS
blah blah Spot blah blah blah blah blah Spot blah blah blah blah Spot blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Spot blah blah blah blah Spot.

:)I love my dogs. His name is Nono. Nono can understand what I say . He know some actions, like sit, shake hands and five me five.
ReplyDeleteSerena,
ReplyDeleteDoes Nono understand everything you say? What kind of dog is he?
In Spanish, Nono is the nickname for Arnoldo..:)
Jeff
Arnoldo? :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Nono almost knows what I say, but sometimes he doesn't want to listen to me.
Pomeranian is a naughty dog :)
Arnoldo is the way you say Arnold in Spanish. And the nickname for Arnoldo is Nono.
ReplyDeletePomeranians are nice dogs but they can be naughtly, like poodles. They bark a lot, don't they?
Thanks for your comments!
Jeff
Nono doesn't like bark ,just is a naughty dog.
ReplyDeleteI really like this blog lol
ReplyDeletePretty cool slice of life
P.S. I can't stand dogs...they bite and poop Lol
ReplyDeleteJoe,
ReplyDeleteDogs do more than that! They bite, poop, eat, sleep, and bark. Well, Serena's dog doesn't bark. Maybe I'm leaving something out...:) lol

I have a client who trains dogs in the far north side of Indianapolis. She has told me that on two occassions a client has asked for their dog to be trained in two languages. One woman wanted her dog to learn commands in both English and in Spanish. Another wanted his dog to learn commands in German and Spanish. Is it possible to be canine bi-lingual?
ReplyDeleteWayde, Yes, I think dogs (and other animals) can be bilingual. They respond to the word they hear, but they don't know what language it is in...:)
ReplyDeleteI have a dog named billy.he understand everything what I say. dogs are intelligent, I love my dog.
ReplyDeleteI think when we talk to our pets they may think we are crazy. I still cant understand why people talk to their pets like babies . Well after a year I started doing the same thing :)
