| Buddy knows most of the family names. His favorite is Nicole my 6yr old granddaughter. She is his very favorite. I have to remember to spell it when I talk about her because he goes off the wall when he hears her name. I can not calm him down if I say it without thinking first. |

| My dogs go nuts if I tell them we're going to see Moochie. Moochie is my parents' dog and it actually his nickname because he tries to mooch off of people Prince howls when I ask if he wants to go see Grandpa. |

| OMG yes!! If you mention "Gramma and Papa" Jeter goes and jumps into his carrier. He loves to go visit them. He can be sound asleep and if he hears those names it is all over. |

| do ur yorkies respond to family members names Oh yes,....Gracie knows everyone's name but she gets most excited when you tell her our oldest son, Todd, is coming. She jumps around and then goes and sits by the front door, staring at it, waiting for him to come. I've learned not to tell her he's coming until I know he's almost in the driveway or the poor dog will wait all day! She also knows the words "cheese" (her favoite flavor), "bone" and "go bye-bye," among others. |

| Trixie knows my husband's name. When I tell her to go find Brian, she'll run straight to him. Or when I ask if Brian is coming home, she'll wait by the door. It's the cutest thing!

| Oh yeah, they know everyone's names in the family. And they react when you say 'mailman', 'Cesar' (as in Dog Whisperer) and last but not least, 'CHICKEN'. They go nuts over that!

| Yep, I can say "go find dad" and off they go - to the bed first I always tease my hubby about that - if you can't find him, look in the bed. But truthfully, he has a very serious chronic illness, so he does nap A LOT. If he is not in the bed, they head to the bathroom - another They certainly look for him all over the house. I can say to Rowdy - "where is Rexy" and off he goes to find him. They also respond to my granddaughter's name - they love playing with her. We have a brand new baby granddaughter - I can imagine that when she is about 2-3, when I say her name, they will run and hide!
