Harley is a very clear and concise communicator. He’s very easy to figure out. Jax on the other hand hasn’t quite mastered the art of communication therefore we are still fumbling through our days. It’s getting better but the process is slow –

In reply to Taryn. BOL! Sounds like you have two smarties living with you. I've noticed Honey learning new words by elimination like that border collie who knew all the names to her toys. It's fascinating what these fuzzy aliens can do that we don't always give them credit for.

In reply to slimdoggy. That might be one of the reasons they're the most popular breed in the country. :)

In reply to Mary. "We are their portal into the human world." I like that.

In reply to jan. I'd love to see video of those food and water bowls scooting across the floor. It puts me in mind of air hockey.

In reply to Emma. Particularly in nose work where the human is told not to communicate with the dog. It can be hard to shut up and listen for many of us. You're lucky, Emma, that your mom is such a good listener. :)

If only EVERYONE listened more and barked less about everything, I’m sure they’d hear what is trying to be said. 🙂

In reply to Blueberry’s human.

From the Husband:

If the shrubs and sticks on which Blueberry is chewing are juniper shrubs and sticks, then Blueberry is saying, “I prefer gin to vodka.”

Incidentally, this demonstrates why my wife doesn’t sweat it when I don’t comment here very often.

Cardigans understand an incredible amount of English, Jimmy especially. You can ask him a lot of questions he knows how to respond to. What do you want to do? He’ll run and get his toy or go to the back door. Do you want a treat? He runs to the cookie jar. Are you sleepy, is it time for bed? He runs upstairs. Do you want a chew? Both run downstairs to the laundry room where I keep the “stash”. Which way? means they get to pick where our walk goes….

So when they want something, they are pretty good at getting me to say the right words…
