golden retriever.

At our house we call her Gertie, our 11 yr old chocolate lab with major short-term memory issues (Sit? Really? Don't think I know that word). Maybe we've been speaking to her in the wrong language. English doesn't seem to work for her! And then there is her little sister Lucy, the beagle. She would have eaten everything in site in that video and looked for more! Oh yes, the vet bills and expensive special food from garbage gut. I'd love to get rid of the safety latch under the sink, but that's where we keep the waste basket.

My Border Collie had an impressive understanding of English words and phrases. My Boston Terriers? Not so much. I've really had to go 'native' with them and use instinctual dog behavior and stances to communicate. I think they know 3 words each, and they all have to do with food.

I just busted out laughing here at work.

I think my BC's knew more words than some of my co-workers.

Treat! Now that's one word they both know! Come, sit, stay -- not so much!
