quote -" Dogs talk to us, all we have to do is listen." ..i think of that w/ my dog Bosco.. when I look at her and think of just listening its really encredible..its like her eyes talk to me and shes speaking more than I realized and were "communicating" in a sense more than ever :-), and I'm really touched by the whole thing. I talk back to her to out loud lol haha, knowing that she gets the jist by my tone of voice. I think since I think of dogs as having such a pure heart that i'm bonding w/ her more and more, also thinking of how we can listen to them.. and suddenly I really see the unconditional long thing..that its always there showing, n her cute smile. I am most joyful about noticing that they know they are ok 24/7, even when they look worried.. that overwhelmes me in a good way.They seem to take whats going on around them so light heartedly and she really knows how to chill out that dog lol- probably especially from where she came from in puerto rico. She love love loves the sun lol. -a lot of the time shes speaking to me in her ora and when i listen, and shes saying everythings ok and she gives me the whats up w/ this eye, and i'm like everythings ok :-). Those are the best times. Its so special to me for humans to be able to be in touch w/ the circumstances around and what you and the dog are feeling between eachother as a human to animal(animal to human) relationshiop, and just be with the communication. And soOo much fun. - i know thats some in depth writing on me and my dog, but hey what can i say... I LoVe xoxo her so much. :-)

"You can say any fool thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, `My God, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!'" - Dave Barry "If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either." - Unknown http://www.dogquotes.com/dogquotes.htm

I can't remember the exact number of words, but it's been proven that dogs have a limited vocabulary. I know that regardless of the tone, my dogs respond to no, treat, get the mail, walk, outside, and a host of other words.
