“Dogs are aphasic! Meaning they are completely without spoken language, so when we give them commands they aren’t actually understanding our words, they are counting syllables, marking our tone of voice, and seeing the tiny ‘tells’ in our body language!
That’s why it’s absolutely best to incorporate hand signals into a training regimen, with the added benefit that if they ever go deaf they’ll still be able to understand you!”

The most bitter pill to swallow about man’s best friend is their life span. It’s too short.

Rebecca,
life is essentially meaningless without death. if things lived a very long time, people would just put it off until later.

Rebecca,
Humans just live too long. Most animals have a handful of years to live. American opossums only live 3-4 and make incredibly great pets for the first 2. Then they hit maturity and need to run free and breed. Then they raise their young for a year and die, like an Octopus...

#1 Sort of, their sent is obvious from the poo, but the scratches are marks they can see later to avoid walking in it. At least according to my dog. She hates stepping in poop.
