    That’s so cool!

    One of my dogs growing up knew a whole bunch of words. I felt really bad one day when the dog wanted to sit on my lap and I said “ok up you get, but wish you would leave me alone when I’m trying to study”.

    He stopped what he was doing, went outside, and lay there staring at me reproachfully through the window. Even though I said he could get up, he must have recognised “leave me alone” even though it wasn’t in a commanding tone.
