Hello there everyone!! ? Welcome to the Hunger for Words community! I’m THRILLED you’re here! I feel completely honored by this outpouring of enthusiasm and inspiration ✨✨ Here is a fun Stella series to kick off this new chapter! • Jake and I were discussing taking Stella to Petco. She was certainly listening…! • Video 1: Stella said “Goodbye outside.” This is the third time in the past few weeks that Stella has combined “good” and “bye” to say “Goodbye” instead of just “bye”! • Video 2: Jake said he wanted to hang our spice racks first, started the project, and Stella told him, “Later Jake” ?? (Translation: Do that later, I want to go!) • Video 3: Stella came full circle with her message and told us she was REALLY ready to leave by saying, “Bye bye bye good bye!” (Looks like we have ourselves a little @nsync fan ?) • I hope you all have a great day!

La mujer de 26 años comenzó a entrenar a “Stella” cuando tenía dos meses de edad, 16 meses después, el can puede expresar 29 palabras, y formar oraciones de hasta cinco palabras. La mascota sabe indicar cuando tiene hambre, quiere salir a pasear o pedir ayuda, además, puede combinar las palabras “feliz, pelota, querer y afuera”.

Does your dog run to the door when she hears your car pull up? So does Stella! • But tonight, Stella didn’t just run to the door. She commented “Jake outside” right after hearing his car beep, then stood by the door waiting for him to walk in ❤️ It reminded me of a toddler running to the door, shouting “Dad’s home!!” • I hope you all have a wonderful Friday night! We will be celebrating our newfound community of dog communication lovers ?
