Of course he does. lots of words we cannot say like 'walk, or out, or ball. They are up like shot and they know a lot more than we think. If we drop a pea from a dinner plate never say, Pea on the floor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 ^^^^^^^^^^Its not just words LL it can be actions put a Barbour on near my springer and all hell would break loose, so I could only ever wear mine when we were off to the field. And what ever you do don't say damn whilst eating your lunch he would be under the table and round your feet in a flash. My Akita was the same with a red outdoor coat, to her that meant going for a walk, that was another coat I couldn't wear except for one purpose. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when it's time for the flea spot-on treatment... as soon as I get the box out of the cupboard there's a mad rush for the cat flap.. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Been there, done that Margie. I once had five males together, and it was like a stampede over the garden and through the fields. I had to do it first thing in a morning, then they'd charge off and sulk for the rest of the day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarahjay 9 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Baby talk sounds silly, but according to Wikipedia it helps children to learn! My mum called teeth “tushy pegs” or “peggies” when we were very young. Mind you she was from N. Lincs not Notts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
