I asked Travis if he thought Athena could understand full sentences of different words she knows... he didn't think so, but I think he believes me now!

She knows "kisses" "mommy" "papi" "toy" "couch" and so on.

So I can tell her "Athena, go on that couch and give papi some kisses." She'll run over and do exactly that.

More and more it seems like she can put commands together and figure out things that I never thought a dog could do... I would start this out by saying "Mommy kisses" and she'd kiss me, I'd tell her good girl, then I'd say "Athena kisses" and I would kiss her so she could learn the difference.

I would love to see how far I could go with sentences! Maybe one day I could read her an entire freaking book and she could understand the whole thing.
