| Thanks for the comments everyone, I truly appreciate them. I'm wondering where the icon is for the person slapping their hand off their forehead? Because that's me, right now as I think through exactly what I did before I had posted my original post. When Buddy was on the couch, I'd say "down". Well, down to him means lie down even though I was meaning down from the furniture. Then, I'd say, "out". I usually say "out?" when I go to the back door to see if he wants to go out in the back yard. Certainly, this was a lesson to me as well to pay extreme attention to what I am saying.
Next time, I will try what Caroline suggested but he hasn't done it again yet, so I haven't had the chance. But thanks again everyone. |
