Furry Friday: Vocabulary

Earlier this year there was an article published in the Huffington Post about a border collie named Chaser breaking the world record for demonstrated comprehension of a 1000 words.  This of course is amazing to me.  Heck, it's amazing to me what few words my little fur-child seems to have a grasp of.  Just last night he was chewing on his cow loofa and I said "Riley, you want to play?"  His head perked right up and he brought his toy over.  Just to see what word it was he perked up to, I said "play" a few more times which caused the same head-jerk reaction and subsequent tail wag.  Apparently he understands play, which got me thinking about all the other words I believe he understands:

• Bed
• Work (when I say I have to go to work, he goes in his crate)
• Red Guy (another toy of his)
• Cow
• Dachshund (another toy of his)
• Eat
• Bone
• Snack
• Dinner
• Breakfast
• Cheese
• Girls (referring to my sisters)
• Grandma
• Grandpa
• Mommy
• Daddy
• Sit
• Stay
• Easy (if he's playing too rough)
• No
• Up
• Hugs
• Kisses
• Out
• Come
• Now
• Let's go in
• Asparagus (he learned that when I said this, we were going to the patch to pick it)
• Truck
• Water
• Wait (we tell him to wait while we're picking up his #2, otherwise he runs and rips your arm out of your socket while you're doing so)
• Cuddle

I'm sure there are more but these 32 are just the typical words I use with him every day that he seems to understand just perfectly.  What a little smarty pants.  He makes his momma proud. 

What do your pets do that amaze you?
