All Done Concern, Night Dream Dad Talk | What About Bunny

[@GETYOBAGMONIQUE]

I would always say dogs can understand a conversation with a human. And people would think I was crazy when I would talk to animals, especially dogs. This proves my point that I was right.

[@Ann963]

❤ Humans can understand before they can speak. Our vocal cords and fine oral muscles take years to mature, but toddlers and even babies understand sooooo much. This is even more true of mute or non-speaking adults! So it’s silly that being able to verbally speak is such a requirement for living independently (it is a huge obstacle).

[@shirleychavez4870]

I once had a very smart poodle who was the smartest dog I’ve ever had. He had a lot of language he understood. Whenever a new person would come to our house, he would turn to me so I could tell him that person’s name then he always remembered their name. He would also tilt his head just like Bunny does and you could see those cogs turning. You can see that Bunny is much more communicative than Otter. I think that Bunny really likes to communicate with buttons because she can express what she wants to to her mom.❤

[@ethelryan257]

Bunny is truly exceptional. Otter is not dumb and his occasional ventures into the abstract suggest to me that he is learning primarily from Bunny. This adds an interesting filter to it - not a human teaching a dog to verbalize in human spoken language but a dog teaching a dog how to speak human. I might be totally wrong, but that's my impression.

[@EpicZManYT]

Around 2:12 or 2:13 when she says "bunny and dad talk in dream" you can kinda see Bunny's head nod. She is so cute!

[@blue2mato312]

That’s right! It’s a long time since I noticed, but she has used the nods for a very long time in communicating before she had this many buttons ❤️

[@amyeli33]

I noticed her nod too.

[@risxra]

As an autistic person who needs consistency and predictability in a similar way to Bunny, I relate to the repeated “concerned” in the last clip😂 When I was growing up (and tbh now as an adult) and my parents would say “ok we’re going now”, but they still had to put on their shoes or find their keys, it threw me off SO MUCH. I FEEL you, Bunny!!

[@awandezwane1500]

I think that "soon" "good" "medicine" is probably Bunny's way of expressing that her medicine makes her feel better when she is feeling ill. Also, when she was talking about her dream, it was so endearing. I bet in the dream Bunny and dad have full blown conversations where they understand each other 😂♥ So the doggies just think about their humans all day - it's so adorable and beautiful. I just love Bunny! She is so cute!

[@laylawalker8897]

You can just see it in her eyes and her entire face when you're talking to her that somebody is indeed home and ALL the lights are on..What an amazing dog Bunny is! ❤🐕👏🤩

[@user-hd9vf8iv6z]

She’s just waiting to press the right buttons to get a treat, praise, or go outside. She probably only truly understands a handful of those buttons. Is fun to imagine she’s a wonder dog though.

[@JMA864]

I wish Alexis would give Bunny more time to think. It totally had second-language processing lag “I know this word, I KNOW I know this word; dammit what is the formal second person singular verb form” vibes. You can’t advance in fluency unless your interlocutor is patient.

[@cacatr4495]

@@user-hd9vf8iv6z You would do well to watch a lot more videos on this channel because your comment here is inaccurate. Bunny communicates for real, there are many examples, whether about her ouchy belly (vet found digestive problems), her ouchy ear (vet found an ear infection), the "stranger ouch paw" where owner found a "stranger" = foreign object, sharp thorn in the matt between her toes and removed it. There is real communication going on. I've had dogs for almost forty years and we didn't have buttons, but my dogs communicated nonetheless.

[@cherylj7460]

She’s reaching, searching for the words to describe her dream. It’s hard for humans to verbalize some dreams!

[@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight]

I wish her mother wouldn't have given her suggestions, because that just makes it impossible to know if Bunny's answers were just to please mom, or if Bunny, for some other reason, just "chose" one of the suggestions. What she dreamt may not even fit any of those suggestions, but say she didn't have the words for it (E.g.; dad climbed a tree) and no way to explain that with the limited options of words she has available, so she chooses one of the suggestions her mother came up with just to give some sort of answer. Also, notice how Bunny didn't "light up", wag her tail, smile, open her mouth slightly and start breathing faster, or any other reaction or sign that implies that Bunny felt mom "got it right" with any of her suggestions regarding the dream about dad. Her tail fell down and she just repeated "dad". Either way, we can never know for sure, so that video clip isn't even eligible for study... Instead, her mother should have just given Bunny plenty of thinking time after she asked "What did you dream?", and not said anything more than that. Then Bunny's reply would be her own words, and we could eliminate any possibility of Bunny being influenced by her mother telling her what to say. That was a wasted opportunity in my eyes. But her mother probably didn't think of that at the time, hope she goes about it diferently next time, though. That would probably be a way more interesting video, I believe. Anyway, Bunny is super cute and a very intelligent lady. I enjoy watching her journey with the buttons. Edit: Grammar.

[@anitahaviland3036]

Bunny has a lot of adjusting now to be one of 3. Bunny was the one who inspired me to get buttons for Larkin, our mini poodle. Larkin has 2 buttons she uses regularly, Food and Outside, plus Poop which she uses properly. Last week, she did say Larkin Food, so I am thrilled. My husband tries to model Foodvforbher, but forgets ofter, however, he was amazed at her 2 word sentence! There are others that I model for her, Cuddle Larkin on one button, Love You on one button, Later, Soon. She's coming along. It's slow, but she is getting it. The big buttons were too big for her, so I moved to Fluent Pet. She's bern working out how to push them, at times using her nose, but now she does it well.with her paws. I am.waiting till after the holidays to get Fluent Pet Connect and then bring her older buttons closer to where I spend time on the couch. I.miss some of what she says because her buttons are now in the dining room which is central. Psych was my college major and I did well. Animal intelligence has always been a passion, esp when we had a pocket farm in Jericho Center, Vermont. I had a pet goose, a turkey who offered to mate with our lone female turkey, and a racist ewe. The goose was my shadow. Enough rambling.

It's my understanding that Bunny is standard Poodle and Labrador. She's not a sheepdog, but dogs need structure and predictability. When things change, they don't know what's going on and it stresses them.

I think she might have been confused by the phrasing of "What dream?" It could have meant "What did you dream about?" or "What is a dream?" which could be why she answered "night" at first, since she originally called dreams "night talk."

[@jslevenson101]

allergies, sensitive, itchy skin responds well to regular white vinegar mixed with water and then rinsed with water. D, Borron Peppermint Soap makes an excellent rinse, and Benadryl can calm a dog down. allergy eyedrops on my dogs worked well. Oatmeal-based soap from my veterinarian worked best for summer heat rash, "hot spots," ulcers, and grass allergies. find sticks while hiking and could help her nerves by chewing and playing.

[@cacatr4495]

Grain-free food can improve many dogs' itchy skin. Feeding raw meaty bone provides nutrients for true health, ie., that my dog's heart stabilized after congestive heart failure and those symptoms never returned.
