| Funny Story (Short)(well 2 stories) about Tinkerbell... I put Tink's food bowl on the floor and told her to go ahead and eat, it's good for her. DH asked what I had put in her food. I said pumpkin, and no sooner did the word come out of my mouth, she backed away from the bowl. As I watched her, I quickly added and Chicken, and she went right back to the bowl and ate her whole meal! DH kept saying he could not believe she just did that. I was just talking to him, and watching her out of the corner of my eye, giving no signals whatsoever. Two days ago Tink got a really cool toy in the Bark Box. It's a sonic squeaker toy that only she can hear (PTL). It's a blue whale shape, and I threw it for her. She can't see real well bc she refuses to keep her topknot neat/in, lol. Again with no guidance from me, she went to a pile of clean baby blankets and sniffed the blue one for a second, and then went on to search out her toy. Can dogs really see colors? She can!

| I think the color attracted her first, then when she sniffed the blanket, she knew it was not her whale. She knows I throw wild every now and then, lol, so the toy could have been where the blue blanket was. Like she was thinking, 'Hey this is blue, is this my toy? (sniff sniff) No not my toy...' She loves that toy... first night she fell asleep with her head on it like a little pillow!

| That is so very cool. These Yorkies are so smart. My husband and I started spelling things we didn't want Winston to hear. Yep...he outsmarted us both...he now knows what we're spelling. Can't win, can't beat him, too smart for his own good.

| It sounds like Tink is really smart.It is cute how our little fur babies know what is good for them or not. I think that is cute to back away from the word pumpkin.Lovely story. Susan |

| They are so funny. She is a clever girl. I understand that dogs can see blue and yellow, not sure where I read that.

| Haha! We did that too, and ended up just spelling everything trying to confuse them. It worked for a while....

| Spelling out words did work for awhile, but he caught on quickly. Then we started using different words for certain things...yep, he figured that out too. Smart cookies they are...

| Too funny that she reacted to you saying pumpkin. I believe dogs do see color, although not as vividly as we do. Max has preferences. We can't spell out keywords either. They are smart cookies. Max and Teddy have learned a bit of pig latin too.
