Thor Speaks Out
Posted 05-26-2009 at 04:46 PM by QuickSilver
That's right, Thor has learned to Speak! 
Every time I teach him a trick I think he's achieved maximum possible cuteness, and then he goes and tops it again.
I had some trouble teaching him to speak. I spent so much time teaching him NOT to bark in my apartment, I had trouble finding a good trigger (I eventually found the key: wet paws). Even now when it's pretty solid, he still looks at me like, after all that pennies in a can stuff, you want me to bark? What's wrong with you?
He's still not barking enough for me to teach him the "Quiet" command, so hopefully this does not convince him he needs to be more generally vocal.
I'm looking forward to teaching him "Whisper" and maybe "Grumble". He has so many cute little noises, I would love to have them all at my finger tips. Does anyone remember those eighties keychain gadgets that made all these laser shooting sounds when you push the buttons? I want one of those with yorkie noises!
Thor is also now a pro at Roll Over, and getting very close on Bang! I wonder if there is a doggie Mensa....
