My neighbors laugh at me because I just am conversing with one of them and I'll say, with no change in my tone, "Dreamer, where did you leave your ball?" And he'll look at me and go right to where he left it and bring it to me. After a bit, (yes, I throw it a couple time for reward LOL), I say, in different ways, not always the same words, "well, I have to go in now Have a nice day", and Dreamer will just head for the house, waiting at the gate for me to open it. He probably knows more words than a four, five year old... maybe a teenager who doesn't want to hear :-) The other two are just as tuned in and we have lots of fun impressing our neighbors. Now if they could just tell Big Black male Dreamer from definitely b/t little bitch Tennie....
