Dogs are great. Cesar Millan, a/k/a “The Dog Whisperer” is quite good in handling dogs and I have used his techniques effectively several times. Friends of mine are astonished that when I visit, their rambunctious spaniels obey when I order them to settle down. I will have to keep that beer trick in mind.

Have watched a Magpie for long stretches attack himself in the large mirror on my 1976 1 ton truck. Sat on the frame & pecked & pecked. Aggressively.

Cattle & sheep dogs have a whole different set of words they learn.

This magpie obviously wants a cosmetic makeover. Perhaps a tux and top hat would do the trick.;-)

Cats hear exactly what you are saying. They understand every word.

But, for the most part, they just don't give a damn.

Cats have staff.

Cats have staff.

You're not kidding. I am a butler and a cook on that staff.

I'm on litter box duty too but that goes without saying.

Yep, they have trigger words real easily.

My old pooch had “rutabaga.”
