While Sarah sits at her desk writing flashcards to learn vocabulary for the GREs, you’d think the vocabulary in our house would be increasing. Yet, I think having a dog cancels out the possibility for more enlightened vocab and discussion in our home. For example:
“Go to the bathroom. Sadie. Sadie. No. No, Sadie. Bathroom. Sadie, go to the bathroom. Bathroom Sadie. No. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. No, Sadie. Sit. Sit. Good girl. Good girl. Very good girl. No, Sadie. Bad. No. Lay down. Lay down. Lay down. Lay down. Good girl Sadie. Good girl. Food. Eat. Eat your food Sadie. Eat. Bathroom. Go to the bathroom. No. Sadie, no. No. Sadie. Oh, good girl. Good sit. Good girl Sadie.”
I think you get the idea.
