| Bilingual Pets I know some of you speak more than one language. Do you your dogs understand that other language? I speak spanish and both Chiquito and Jerome and even Kiki the cat are bilingual, they can understand me in both language. They understand more spanish than my husband

| Hello!! I do speak spanish also, and live in Houston also!!!!!! Luna is kind of bilingual... When a friend of mine dogsits her, she talks to her in english and seems to get the points... We talk to her in spanish, and seems to get the points, but elects not to listen!!! LOL I think they may react to the voice tone and volume more than the actual words... Don't know...

| I used to have a shetland sheepdog that understood both Chinese and English : ) I think Peanut's going to be the same because my brother and I speak English to him and my parents speak Chinese to him : ) I think it's hilarious when my parents scold him in Chinese |

| I talk baby talk to Buffy in Spanish all the time without thinking about, and I did that once in front of people (friends). They laughed at us they thought it was so funny she understood Spanish, so I told them " I told you Yorkies are smarter " that shut them up

| This is funny! I decided to speak to Poppy in Finnish (I am Irish and speak Finnish like a 2 year old!!) so that if my boyfriend's parents are looking after her she wold understand what they say (they don't speak any English!!!)as a result....she has very bad grammar and only knows the present tense!!!!!!

| What about Tri-Lingual? Only one is tri-lingual......I speak english, Tagalog (Filipino) w/similiar words like spanish, and Japanese to my male Artie, but my younger female Abigail only understands english? My Mother started it when we visited for 4 months, she also taught him a couple of tricks too, that he only does for her! |

| Wow you guys!!! I wish Mia would understand English. I think I would be happy with one language. She still looks at me like "what the hell are you talking about lady???" when I say "stay."

| Trixie knows English and Dutch. Altough I think it's more the tone of voice than the words itself!
