The Dog Whisperer

I realized tonight that Lucy actually understands words. Among them:
  • Upstairs
  • Downstairs
  • Outside
  • Go for a walk
  • Go for a ride
  • Dog park
  • Sit
  • Time to eat
  • High-five
  • High-ten (thank you, Janice...)
  • Bed
  • Bone
If we could only get her to understand "drop it..."

Truman understands questions.

"Where is your bone?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Do you have to go potty?"
"Do you want to go for a ride?" - the answer is always yes.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" - the answer is always no.
And Truman's favorite question, besides the one related to eating, "Truman are you ready to go to bed?"

Ha, that's too funny, Linda! And if anyone wants to know the difference between a lab and a pitbull, there it is!

They both like to eat, but Lucy does not like the idea of bedtime (how fun is that?!?). You mention going for a walk, however, and she is sprinting toward the front door.

You forgot she knows the word and sound of almonds

pitbulls are fairly active dogs. Bulldogs, like Truman, are 50+ pound cats. He's perfect.
