We've started coming up with new descriptions of the things our Peekapom already knows. It's like a secret code we use. If you say Dog Park, it's an instant mad dash to the door, we now call it the Canine Recreation Area or CRA. Treats have become Morsels, not for human consumption (stole that from the sign in the freezer at Publix) and go for a ride is now Gopher (she figured that one out pretty quick)

Charlie McGee came in second in the Canine National Spelling Bee. When they asked him to spell golf cart he replied "GC"!

I love this thread!! We had a pug named Chester and he knew exactly what we were talking about. Spelling the trigger words only lasted a couple of weeks before he caught on to them too. The golf cart, once he realized that it moves and the faster you go, the more air blows on your face, in his opinion, was the greatest thing that us crazy humans ever invented.

Animal Planet was his favorite TV Channel. My wife and I were watching the Westminster Dog Show and Chester was sitting between us not really paying too much attention to the dogs until the Pug was being showcased. He jumped off the couch and ran to the TV and was watching very intently. When he could no longer see he Pug, he went behind the TV to look for him and came out with that "Where did he go" look o his face. Then jumped back on the couch next o us. We did not react at all when the Pug was on TV. Amazing that he recognized someone as handsome as himself.

Our beagle, Bob, now knows the spelled out words, R-I-D-E, E-A-T, G-O, etc. I like the idea of pig latin, but I believe he'd understand that in a few days.

Ride - walk - out --- I spell in front of the dog.

He spells w-i-n-e

This has turned into a fun thread. I can't believe how many super smart dogs there are out there. Another poster's dog acted like one of my dachshunds. There would be something on TV like a cat, for example, he would leave the couch and run into our walk-in closet (which was the room behind the TV) looking for that cat. He, too, would come out with that puzzled look like "where did it go". Then he would go to the other bedroom looking for the cat. Then he would go back to the closet and back and forth. The look on his face and his determination to find that cat were so funny. It was more fun watching him than watching TV. In fact, we would encourage him by saying "Where's that cat?" We got a lot of laughs.

Moses gets so excited when he sees a dog on TV, that he will also run to the TV in bedroom looking for the dog....Ha!....He is a hooooot!

We have two boxers that love to ride in the t r u c k! Many other words we must spell as well.

Since moving to Florida we have added lizard to our spelling list. Our shih tzu/bichon loves lizard hunting.

Molly, my cat, runs into the kitchen if I say, "Molly, do you want a treat?" On Animal Planet sometimes I watch the show "My Cat From Hell." Molly is fascinated by that show. She will run up to stand right in front of the TV and her head goes back and forth when the cat or cats are being shown.

My favorite cat loved the oil painting show (Bob whatshisname) She would lie on top of the TV and reach down with one paw to touch the moving brush

Hmmm, I thought we were the only nutty people that did that. Our standard poodle and cocker spaniel know different words but I'm convinced they tell each other what the other doesn't recognize.

Our dog, Sadie, likes to watch PGA golf on television. She gets irked (starts barking loudly) when she sees Tiger bogey a hole.

The other day, when Tiger got a 2-under eagle on Hole #4, Sadie showed her strong approval by doing a somersault off the sofa.

Yesterday, while watching the PGA golf show, I told Kathy I was going to the fridge to get a B-U-D. Sadie did the impossible. She barked, "Me, too."

Can you believe it...a talking dog?!

Our Abyssinian knows a few words...I think he has us trained but then the saying is that dogs have masters and cats have staff. Abys were once treated like royalty and ours still thinks this is true.
