       My aunt's Yorkie got so excited about "squirrel" we started
       spelling it if we wanted to point them out in the yard without
       setting her off barking - then she figured that out too so we
       shortened it to just "s-q-u".  She also got excited about
       hearing "Greenies", her favorite treat.

       My dog knows “walk,” “w” and how it’s spelled. So we sound like
       Brits, “would you fancy a jaunt around the neighborhood “ or
       something similar if we need to talk about it.
       Similarly, she knows all the words for food, so if we need to
       ask if she’s been fed, it’s something like, “Did she have the 4
       o’clock morsel?”

       LCP gets excited whenever anyone makes any sound of any kind.
       But there are a few words that send her OTT, like "birdie" and
       "bunny" and "squirrel." These are words we must carefully spell
       lest a tiny enthusiastic tornado result.
       She also delights in being instructed to "go get it" or "dig it
       up."

       LCP hasn't figured out what comestible means.
       Yet.

       what scenario would initiate a "dig it up" command ?
       (btw if you say chipmunks, i'll just be over here going
       lalalalala with my fingers in my ears bc if that's the case i
       dont want to know.)

       We can spell out "food" as long as we spell it like the old
       cartoon - "F U D".

       The cats know "treats" and how to spell that.  The dogs are
       clueless still, but their treats are generally limited to when
       they go straight to their kennel when brought in.  And boy, do
       we know if someone kenneled them and didn't produce the treats.
       If I say "bathroom" then Gabriel will roar from wherever he is
       to whichever toilet he thinks I'm going to.  Since I retired, I
       think I've been allowed to be alone in the bathroom maybe a
       dozen times.  There have been a couple of times he's nearly
       tripped me trying to get in before I do so I can't shut the door
       between us.

       thanks for bringing a little bit of joy into our often chilly
       universe.

       Most of our cats have known 'Dinner!' and would come running.
       Our current two are indifferent. But when I walk to the couch
       from my desk at the end of the day, Lil Sis comes running. It's
       Pet the Kitty time!
