Ha ha Yes they are probably hypnotizing us. Dogs are amazing animals. Thank you so much for your kind words da-AL.

What a great story! Great for a post too! I often feel like my dog thinks I’m too easily impressed by her smarts and understanding of human language as well as ability to mind read and hypnotize us 🐶😝

Yes things would certainly be different if the could talk. Sometimes it almost feels like they can talk. Today we removed the stool that we put by our oldest son’s bed. Rollo used that stool to jump up on the bed. He likes to be on that bed. However, our son and his wife came to visit us today for Thanksgiving and we did not want Rollo to use his bed. Well, Rollo was not happy with this and he came to me and scratch my leg and then he walked over to where the stool used to be. He was telling me to put the stool back. I explained to him in English that we couldn’t do that. I am not sure how much he understood but he accepted it. He makes himself understood.

Sometimes I wish my dog could talk. But then I catch myself. Surely she’d make me feel even guiltier for not feeding her and playing with her 24/7 😹

Thank you so much Gwen. That is funny, that the link wouldn’t load. I had to check that I posted the right link, but it loaded on my computer. Anyway, when I was young and lived in Sweden I thought German was the most popular second language after English but it is not even on the list. I guess it is easy to extrapolate from your local environment. In Sweden German was the most popular second language to learn after English. I’ve forgotten almost all of my German. Now I focus on French.

I had no idea that accents remain, if only slightly. I tried to listen to your accent, but the link would not load on my computer. Bummer. I am amazed by your statistics. Living in the U.S. all my life, I wrongly assumed Spanish would be the most popular second language.
