We considered changing Bad Boy's name to Webster (as in dictionary), but decided, in order to be perfectly fair, he not only had to understand the meaning, but give the correct response. (Like STOP does not mean continue and laugh that sneaky green iguana laugh while running 100 miles an hour in the opposite direction!)

Bad Boy knows his name. (We also call him Badesto, and he knows that, too.)

He knows:

Stop!

Want some greens? (He climbs to the top of his ladder to be hand fed on this command---again, which one of us is trained?)

No!

Give good poop! (That's a loooong story, shortened to say this is the command to let 'er rip!)

Good poop! (He always looks so proud after accomplishing this feat!)

We have two dogs and he recognizes their names. If I call for Little Britches, he looks at the white dog as if to say, "You gonna answer her, or what?!"

Bath

Gimme' a kiss! (He does, too!)

GET OFF MY HEAD NOW! (This he doesn't do, but he knows what I want. LOL)

and, of course, Mama get your blankey so you can go nite-nite.

Aren't they sooo cute!
