Tag has got a trick under his belt. I taught Tag how to be "boring" tonight. Boring consists of yawning, when someone asks " are you bored" and Tag responds to "yawning." Tag did this about 50% of the time I asked. About 6 times. I was so thrilled, I took Tag to the refrigerator for a treat. We decided on 1/4 of a cold hot dog, on top of scalloped potatoes, chicken and red potatoes, already in Tag's bowl. I am such a proud parent tonight, I feel like after the 5 weeks or so of bonding, that Tag and I have finally established communication. I almost wanted to wake up Cid to tell her, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. She has been working with Tag on how to " Call the dog" witch is a "whistle and come here." Even though we don't have a dog, there are many dogs in the complex, that owners call. I just hope Tag don't pick up "Daisey, Diesel, come here you ass wipes", which is what the neighbor frequently calls. Good news for Tag tonight, I hope my little buddy is finally starting to understand Cid and I. I have high hopes, for Tag and this experiment in which Tag will talk before 2 years.
