Today Vivi did the funniest thing........... I have always believed that Vivi really understands certain words ...especially food related words and by far her favorite word is Peanut Butter. I give her pb as a treat and she loves it. When she hears the word her ears perk up and she tilts her head then licks her lips and runs to the cabinet where it is stored.Well today I tried whispering and she still understood. Later I lipsynched the word peanut butter and she read my lips!!!!! It was so funny ....I tried it with other words that she knows and she understood. I guess this is just another example of Yorkies being human. |
Bell does that with the word Cookie!! I'm going to try saying that word without any volume in my voice and see what happens. |
I read somewhere that dogs can understand a massive amount of words. We have taught Penny many specifics: toy, ball, bone, hungry, bed, ni-nite, bye-bye, walk, bathroom, cookie, treat, work, kitty, etc. etc. Some stuffed animals even have specific names, and she knows which is which. Hungry and thirsty are key words around here. She will respond only if she truly feels one of the words. She also knows a handful of people by their names beside us, including her brother and our cat. They truly are intelligent animals! And I think we only help them by teaching them more and more. |
I love it!!! You can't say the "H" word (hungry) around Gus. He can be in a deep sleep and he'll open one eye to see if your talking to him. |
