We were out for our afternoon stroll and saw a word we often hear but don’t really understand. Can you help us with our vocabulary test?
Dr. Stanley Coren, a psychologist who has studied canine intelligence, says the average dog understands 165 words. The brightest know 250. We know all the important ones making Hu-Dad spell certain words when we are close. But this one word has us very stumped.
Hu-Dad says this often. We’re racing through the house and jumping off the furniture and he says it. We’re howling when he is on the phone and he says it. We drag him after a squirrel and he says it.
Never mind. We’ve got it. It means “Good dog. Do that again.”
See how smart we are!

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.
Hu-Dad's Novels
His books pay for our food!
I feel so ridiculous when I have to spell words in front of dogs!
i’m late getting here today but it was worth it! LOLOL!
i’ll never look at a stop sign again without thinking of its TRUE meaning! xoxo
Thank you! Thank you! Love this LOL post this morning! Made me laugh so hard! Now each time I see the word “STOP” it means ‘Good dog/human! Do it again’
Thank you for making me giggle this morning.
Hahaha!!!
In the famous words of
Yukon Cornelius;
” I SAID WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA!!!,
I MEAN UN- MUSH,
LIKE THIS” ….
then you have to demonstrate,
while they all jump onto the sled!! 😉
They are masters at ignoring us.
Sorry Hu-Dad-I was laughing so HARD at the post-especially the end when STOP means good dog-lol
