Professor Jakey here today talking to the Assistants out there about some basic translation commands we'll be covering over in the next few weeks!
Today, I'll be translating a basic Assistant Command. Here it is in human:
As you'll notice, our way to ask to be petted is much more poetic and eloquent:

Notice if your muzzle is placed at just the right angle your assistant won't even realize they have begun petting you...I believe I may talk to Bertie about doing a study on subliminal petting!

How do you let your assistants know you want to be petted??
I just jump on her and start lickin her face.

ReplyDeleteCan't really answer that last question, but am super impressed with your methodology Jakey!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Subliminal petting? Oh yes Jakey, that is most worthy of further in depth scientific research.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie.
omd... you can talk human!!! wow! do you know the words for "more food please too?
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I do it too, Jakey!
ReplyDeletePhod will do the head thing. Hailey will use her paw to grab the person's arm and pull it to her stomach. Phod sometimes uses that move too.
ReplyDeleteWe usually let our assistant work, except for Madison who sometimes gets her face right in the middle of things. Good tips!
ReplyDeleteOh what great technique!!!! I'm just off to try that one on my peeps....
ReplyDeleteLoves and licky kisses

Oh I don't need to ask to be petted, my pawrents just do it anyway! DakotasDen
ReplyDeleteJake says pet me mama, but not in English like you... he uses his shoulder to shove my leg while I am here at the computer, or pushes hard on my lap with his head, if I am on the sofa, he walks up puts his face on chest and pushes really hard. of course he says pet me when he is sleeping, rolling on floor etc. Mama just pets when she sees it
ReplyDeleteOMCs we might be kit-zin Cuzzins once removed.
ReplyDeleteThat is 100% the exact way I get mom to pet me.
HOWEVER, she claims I only do that when she is about to put a cup to her mouth and I make her dribble. NOT TRUE!!!
Hugs madi your bfff
I jump right up in mom's face and give her lots of kisses and then she rubs me all over!

OMD you can talk that PEEP Speak stuffs????? THAT is Astonishing.
ReplyDeleteWe use the Nose under the hand thingy... coupled with really REALLy sad Looks...
YOU really have it ALL wrapped up. The Total Package. We need to study this and get much better at the Subliminal Petting stuffs. One can NEVER have enough petting and scritching. RIGHT???
Jakey we are hiring you as our assistant
ReplyDeletePeace,
Lily & Edward
Yup!
ReplyDeleteJakey, you speak human? WOW! And I much prefer the dog way to communicate wanting some pets...the nuzzle can work magic!
ReplyDeleteGotta squeeze my head under her hand and then... bliss!
ReplyDeleteMiss Oswin from Norway
You got it down to a real science!
ReplyDeleteRosy just sort of head butts the hand when she wants a pat!
ReplyDeleteWell, it seems we do like to be petted right when Mom has settled down on the sofa with her laptop on her lap. We aren't quite as gentle as you - we just push that laptop over and stick our heads on her lap instead:0
ReplyDeleteWoos - Lightning and Misty
Those are BOTH great techniques - and we are so impressed that you can speak human! I know some Cat, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteYours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher
We do this sort of thing all the time. You gave a great lesson in how to get petted.
ReplyDeleteYou have developed your talent to art form sweet furiend. We think you could get a spot on America's Got Talent!!
