My dog is so smart my husband and I catch ourselves spelling in front of him.
“My dog is so smart my husband and I catch ourselves spelling in front of him.”
That trick lasts only so long - my Aussies have learned to spell words such as leash or walk or bath. Our language becomes increasingly oblique to conceal our intent. I’ll say to the wife, “Fetch the long things and we’ll perambulate the fur kids around the block”. As we speak such jargon, the dogs’ ears are twitching as they try to decipher what we are saying.
