subject: Calling the dog

HI all. Where are ya. Wake up! :)

I don't usually read Heloise because nine times out of ten I find the
'hints' she receves are not enviornmentally friendly and or they don't
make any sense at all .

One lady wrote in about putting a dog's name on a tag... now yes you
thought Heloise was about Household Hints? It's been getting weird
lately. One lady wrote in pouring out her heart and soul over the loss
of her husband but tries to make up for it by telling us about all the
new hobbies she has found... Anyway back on topic here...  this other
hint I found erroneous and shame on Heloise for not correcting the
woman IS topical to this echo.

Here it is. The woman says we should have name tags on our dogs. If
she finds a lost dog how will it come to her if she doesn't know the
dogs name?

OHMYFOG! I nearly fell out of my chair.

Try this experiement folks. Cally our dog anything you want and note
if it comes. I read somewhere too long ago to remember where, that
dogs respond to the tone of our voice moreso than what we say.


COME!!! Come here boy/girl...! hasa  distcinct sound to it whether you
add a name to it or not.

Why just now I called my two dogs in from out back. I called them
Here babies!!! come here sweeties!!! Come on in... And they did
because it's COLD outside you see.. hehe. (And yes they had done their
duties.)
