I am a bi-lingual dog.

What does that mean? Mommy says it all the time. It means I can understand words in two languages. I understand words in French and in English. I could not do this when I was little. I had to learn. It was hard. Maybe also I understand three languages because I do also speak dog. But I cannot speak English or French. I just understand certain words.

I had to learn so many things when I was little. I had to learn that I was supposed to make outside the house, not inside. I learned that I was supposed to stay in my crate in the kitchen, especially when no one was home. That was like my own little house and if I was in it, no one would bother me.

I learned the word for sit in English and how to sit. I learned the word for stay in English and how to stop and stay in one place. I don't always do that one very well because I am happy and excited and want to explore. I learned the word up in English to jump into the car for a ride, or the bed to go to sleep.

I learned the word for here in French, ici, and that meant I was supposed to come to Mommy.

I learned how to walk on a leash. Sometimes I still don't like it because I want to run and run and smell everything everywhere. It is hard to be a dog sometimes. Something tells me I am supposed to find rabbits and other animals and use to nose to find them. I don't know how I know this, but I know it. I also know I am supposed to talk to other PBGVs like me, and they are supposed to help me hunt.

I know sometimes I am supposed to be quiet, Mommy says so, she says "arette" or stop when I speak too much or too loud.

She tells me "allee" when she wants me to go with her, "let's go" she says.

I learned more words too. "Treat" is probably the most important, other than "walk" and "out". But I also know an important French word, "cadeau" or present. Mommy says I was the best present she ever got, better than diamonds, whatever those are.

I love Mommy and Daddy and love being a bi-lingual dog.
