Shiona Tregaskis teaches her dog, Olive, to recognise the word ‘sit. (The Guardian) Oh, boy, this is the end all, be all. Doggies responding to iPads??? Here’s the link, but don’t think you’re going to catch me myowing on cue. If I get an iPurr I’m going to write letters and blogs and hook into the universe of iPurring but no way am I going to OBEY commands given me from mama’s iPad. For one thing, she is always reading with it and so it’s hard to get her to put on a command for ME, much less let me use it long enough to learn commands (haha, fat chance!) Still, I’m pretty impressed with those doggies who can do that stuff. However–here’s a photo of Squeakie aka Petunia who was slinking around at a great shop in Ingram, Texas called Copper Cactus, plus her running mate, Old Blue, and you can bet your booties that those two are NEVER going to settle for commands on an iPad…or any commands, for that matter.
Those two doggies rule the roost, but mama tells me that Squeakie sang to her for a good two minutes. And I don’t mean howl, I mean SANG. “It’s dog’s world…but it don’t mean nothin’ without a kitty whose a girl…” la la la 
(with apologies to James Brown). Mama and papa are on the way home. Uh, oh, that means no more extra snuggle and treats and adoration from Sue, my favourite Englishwoman in the world of kitty-handling, but what the heck. I’ll bet there are going to be a few snuggles from those deserters when the time comes. Meaning, when I deign to let them get near me again… Well, maybe I’ll cut the punishment time just a little…. 
Okay, okay, I cut it ALOT!
