I yell at the dogs and all they do is go through all the tricks I have taught them. I think it's an animal conspiracy. They know darn well what I am saying!
From the corner of my eye as I was leaving for work this morning I could almost swear I saw the cat flash a gang sign to the dog. lol
While I was growing up, we had a dog who could spell..... well sort of. The dog would get really excited when ever she heard the word, "Ride!" or "Car!" so we took to spelling them.... Pretty soon, she caught onto that too! (Cockapoo mix, by the way.)
