Oh, that's fascinating! Makes a lot of sense when I think back on how many words our dogs picked up over the years without us specifically teaching them. They were always listening and trying to figure out what we were saying...and succeeded a remarkable percentage of the time! (And yes, I'll admit that I do tend to talk to them almost nonstop  )
