WE PUPPIES MUST BE BILINGUAL! WHAT IS CAINENGLISH?

I understand English rather well. Some canine experts oh and ah about the 500 words dogs can master. Balderdash! I have picked up the language rapidly through overhearing humans talking on television and in conversations.

Despite English language proficiency humans underestimate puppy comprehension. Frequently they revert to a stratum of the English language directed towards us canines. I call it Caineenglish or in its long version Canine English.

Sort of a pidgin English if you prefer. Delivered in an exaggerated tone, simplified and with reduced words. COME. COME NOW. Wanna go for a walk? WALK! Kibby (for kibble). BATH. SLEEP. CRATE. There can be different tonalities such as a polite COME. An urgent COME. An angry COME.

One could easily be offended spoken to like some inmate in a federal prison but we are often easy going us puppies and most of us find it simply silly!

READ! KEEP READING! READ NOW!
