Either my dog Rusty has started speaking English, or every single member of our family and several friends have all lost our minds and become delusional! No kidding, he has started speaking (he sounds exactly like Scooby Doo LOL).
His first word was "No!" Said this when asked to get off the bed, go out to pee in the rain, other appropriate moments. Now he's started calling me, "Ma." When I come into a room or he comes in and finds me he says, "Ma!" Just imagine Scooby pronouncing these words and you'll have it.
Okay, so two words isn't much of a vocabulary, but he's a DOG!
We've always thought he was pretty bright, but figured that in comparison to our other dog, any dog would seem bright. (LOL, poor Frisco, he really is dumb! But lovable.)
Does anyone else have pets that speak? I need to know if I should enroll in the local looney bin or not!
UPDATE: Rusty has added a new word to his immense vocabulary (bringing the grand total to three, LOL). He says, "Yeah." And it's funny, he says it in different tones for different things. Like, if he's been whining and I say, "Do you want to go outside?" He says, "Yeeeahh," in this tone that's almost sarcastic, like "Why do you think I've been sitting her whining?" But if I ask him if he wants a treat, he says, "Ye-yeah," very happy sound. Of course, if we try to get him to talk in front of other people, he just walks away... so now everyone we know thinks we're crazy (if they didn't before, LOL).
