Cooper, this is Piper the Border Terrier.

Not surprisingly, your English is excellent. (Humans think we only understand baby-talk. Silly humans.)

The surprise is that you haven’t acquired Pat’s naughty words. Americans dogs pick up bad words from their parents. Me, for example. I acquired words Mom learned in the Navy. I used a few the other day, on a big bruiser of a bulldog who tried to sniff my business. They not only made him stop; they made him cry.
