Ever "adopt" a critter that didn't understand

yoshmyster

English [:D]?

Got me thinking about gunnut505's situation. Where there might've been "a failure, to communicate" with his dog. In my neck of the woods, I'd say there's a 50/50 chance that the critter only answers to Mexican.

Looking forward to the day I get a dog and only speak to it in Japanese (or very Belushi-esque Samurai Deli style [:D]).

Yes. Even though they were born here, my two adopted kids don't understand plain English. Come to think of it, neither do my three biological kids.

*sigh*

What I say:"Griffin, stop that!"
"You're a good boy, Griffin."

What my dog hears:
"Griffin, blah, blah, blah."
"Blah, blah, blah, Griffin. "

My dog understand both English and Spanish. I manage 30 Mexicans that do understand English, but won't admit it. So I talk to them in Spanish, and when I get home, it carries over. So he learned both languages,,,[^]

I used to train my dogs in Hungarian... That way my ex and I were the only ones who chould give them commands. Those were two smart dogs, and the only ones I have ever missed after they passed on.

My current pointer is adorable, but she doesnt have a lot of horsepower under the hood. The kids and I keep it simple with her and she does just fine.,

I took a preacher bird hunting with me once.

Never again. My damn dog couldn't understand a word I said.

The Great Pyrenees listens, and understands, but doesn't care. Obedience training is lost on them. They know what they are supposed to do, and expect to be left alone to do it.

But they understand.

Ruth and Elsa were both lying on the kitchen floor. I said to Dawnie, "I think Elsa is about the prettiest dog I ever saw."

As soon as I said that, Ruth got up, looked daggers at me, and walked off to the living room and lay down behind my recliner. I went to her and spoke to her, but she wouldn't even look at me.

She eventually forgave me.
