Dean, I’ve been wondering about something for a while. In what language do you talk to your dogs, English or French?
Or did you guys raise them to be bilingual, as a good Canadian should? ;-)

Well, in the interest of cultural sensitivity and the alignment of the universe, I feel it makes sense that we speak to Weimaraners in German. Except that we don’t know any German short of das ist nicht Ihr Gepäck, das ist mein Gepäck, so the results sound sort of like the byproduct of a warmup exercise between Klink and Schultz on ‘Hogan’s Heroes’.
Actually it’s the usual sit, stay, come, lie down, in English. When we’re very angry with them (hairtrigger barking fits, Hugo’s thing for garbage redistribution) it’s a lot of ta gueule con and putain de bordel il est nul ce chien.

If they’re anything like my three, they obey you equally well in both languages, the degree variying from not at all to ‘Oh, alright, I’ll get to it in a minute,’ to ‘Oh, I see you have a biscuit. I will do anything—name it.”
The rest of the time they’re selectively deaf because they’re busy eating somethng, sniffing something, chewing something, or peeing on something and just can’t be bothered to indulge us in our obviously pathalogical control-freak paradigm.

Oliver, enjoy the leaves. Where I live, they will soon be covered with snow!
