Emme and Rudy can S-P-E-L-L

Emme and Rudy both know many words. They know, among others, sit, down, come, leave it, no, eat, food, treat, ride, walk, come, hurry up, outside, in, upstairs, bed, home. Until now, they didn't know how to spell. Every night one of us says to the other, "Do you think it is time for bed?" That is the signal for the dogs to run to the kitchen for one last hurry up before going upstairs. Recently we have been really slick and spelled B-E-D to fool the dogs. That didn't last long. Last night Ken said to me, "B-E-D?" and both dogs jumped up to go to bed. Now they know how to spell!
