It's really uncanny how fluent Bunny has become with the buttons. Something I found fascinating is that "other word" not only means that she doesn't have a button, but also that she knows the word she wants to use. I wonder how much larger her vocabulary is than the number of buttons she has? It must be considerable by this point.
@@MazerTime It shocks me that she KNOWS she doesn't have the proper button for a word. She KNOWS that she doesn't know something. That's high level thinking. There are plenty of humans out there who don't understand that they may not know they don't know something.
@@MazerTime I don't think Bunny knows the word she is looking for. I believe she has an idea or feeling that she knows there is a word for; I'm sure she knows there's a word for everything.
Ok first of all I want to say that Bunny had a fairly intellectual revelation there with the "dream is night talk" And also, Bunny 🐰 saying her mood Is just "ugh" is a whole mood.
Right!!!? I was thinking, makes sense… you want fresh air when you feel ill. It’s freaking adorable to watch the care and attention given to Bunny and how they give her autonomy like this!!! I’m blown away actually.❤❤❤
Fascinating how her patience for miscommunication seems to be dwindling the larger her vocabulary gets. "Word other" is certainly a frustration I can empathise with.
You might want to try a raised bowl for them, can help with "belly ouch." Poodles and doodles can have bloat issues, which can be mitigated with raised bowls.
@@EyeconicLaura Yes, it was in the past but they raised that number up to 6/7 year old and now I think smart dogs are considered to be even higher up, I think I heard or read 10-12 year old but not sure. They're still figuring out I guess
@@evamaria7298 definitely depends on the breed and for obvious reasons it isn't a solid one to one comparison, especially with Boxers. THEY like to hide their smarts to get out of work. Lol.
@@titanbuck7 haha yes, didn't have a boxer yet but growing up we had a bernese mountain dog and she was the smartest dog I've ever known to this day, she just didn't show it immediately cause she was LAZY lol ...she was mostly seen laying around 😄 ...many people, even those who weren't 'dog people', said to us she reminded them more of a calm and wise human being. I still think of her... of course I loved all my other dogs and pets I had since but she sure was something special. Her and one cat I had were just insanely smart there's definitely differences to each individual
This shit blows my mind it's so obvious that she's really using human language to communicate. It really makes life better for both dogs and people to see this shit.. really great stuff
If you think this is impressive you haven’t seen anything yet. Watch the other videos on this channel. Bunny really does knock it out of the park. I think her best accomplishment so far was when she said “mad ouch stranger paw” and walked up to her mom and gave her left paw. There was a thorn stuck between her toes. She’s not the only talking pet. Billi the cat told her mom that there was noise water when rain started to fall. Stella the dog started this movement - she has some pretty impressive things to say too… There’s also the chatty lab channel (copper). But so far Bunny is the most proficient conversationalist I’ve seen.
‘afternoon talk word other’ probably means she thinks the word dreaming only applies to night time so she needs a new word to describe dreaming during the afternoon. Wow I’m impressed she worked it out herself 😲😃
Can you imagine having to do high level calculus just to talk? Bunny probably feels like this sometimes. Probably just wishes we'd all bark and wag tails like 'normal'.
Buns not feeling well and voicing it with the buttons kinda makes me wonder, what will she say when she gets really old, sick, etc? Will she have any reflection about the end of her life and voice it too? I've had tons of dogs pass away in my family from old age and serious diseases. I wish I had a way to know what they were thinking, maybe use that to ease their pain with proper medication. To vocally tell them that I loved them, and the final good bye, and have them understand it. Yeah, things got a bit dark in my comment, but if you had at least one of your dogs pass away in your arms this is something that you'll wonder. xP
I’m dealing with this with a cat. He was my mothers cat, and then my fathers cat and now my cat but he is 22 years old and still doing okay expect for early stage kidney issues and possible thyroid problems but he sometimes pukes up his food and always screams at me for I don’t know what. He still jumps and plays and likes cat nip but I can’t touch him to groom him without sedating him and when I could afford it I had him shaved at my vets office. He started not using the litter box but has no UTI as I had him checked and given an antibiotic shot at the vet so it’s just a behavior thing but I don’t know what he is trying to tell me. He doesn’t seem in pain or anything but I don’t know when it’s right to put him down. I don’t want it just to be because he is a major inconvenience for me at the moment peeing all over.
I’m so insanely impressed by not just Bunny and Otter’s level of speech and comprehension, but the dedication put in by you. Training a dog/puppy can be hard just for the basics, and here you have such passion and focus that you’ve taught both your dogs to not only be angels but to talk. Your love for animals really shines through each video and it’s really refreshing and inspiring to see. I love hearing Bunny’s thoughts and emotions….the videos where she just calls for “mom” and tells you little things like “love you” “I dog we friends” or “why dog” give me a happiness I can’t even describe. Thank you for your work and for uploading these!
I have Crohn’s and get belly ouch on the regular. Not eating in response to pain is not necessarily bad, and usually provides relief until the belly ouch passes in a day or two (pushing food into a sore stomach can exacerbate things, and I avoid solid food after a flareup). In Bunny’s case I would not presume to know what triggered it, but keeping an eye on inputs and outputs so to speak might provide clues as to what the issue is. You could also try something unlikely to cause any problems like bone broth if she is not eating for too long, just to get some nutrition into her. That enormous bowl of food made me cringe. That’s a lot when things are sore 😢 ‘why no’ indeed.
Don’t worry if Bunny doesn’t want to eat. Focus on her gastro symptoms. Make sure she drinks water, etc. If she misses some meals now she will naturally catch up when she is feeling better. Let her get back gradually.
Bunny looks just like my McDuff, an Old English SheepDog. He had terrible stomach problems. He ended up with stomach ulcers and almost died with them. He ended up in doggy hospital for a week on IV and medications. He came home with instructions to feed him lean chicken daily. So I cleaned up boneless chicken breasts and baked them. Then I cut it up ontop of his kibble each night. He continued to eat vanilla yogurt twice a day which he always loved. Once he healed up, there was no stopping the chicken. When I tried, he looked at me like, hey! You forgot something! He wouldn t eat without it. But the ulcers were gone and stayed gone! So, the cut up chicken remained.
@@TBelle507 do you mean the buttons on the floor that Bunny hits to talk? You need to address that question to the home page. She has provided all of that info before. You should be able to find it there.
She’s ready for awake, asleep, etc. Antonyms & synonyms! Basically, she’s proving dogs are as smart as @ least 6-7 yr old humans, as a baseline. It’s gonna be scientifically interesting to see Otter grow up & evolve w/human linguistics from puppyhood!
....No. Not even slightly. Bunny has no idea of word order and just says words in any random order, even though 1.5-year-olds understand the order generally unless they do not yet say 3-word-semtemces at all. The first day of 3-word sentences will most likely have zero sentences in an extremely wrong word order. 5-year-olds can read, and all 2-year-olds know that every capital L they see is an L, regardless of how it's written, is it curvy or longer or shorter then that other capital L, etc. But none of the pets will recognize any of the words in a book even though the rest of the pets all have only the words written on the buttons with letters only. 6-year-olds also understand every single word without exception that you say to them unless you say "pharmaceutical" or something. 2-year-olds ask the name of every single thing they see nonstop every day, but Bunny only asks occasionally about the meaning of words she knows that she doesn't completely understand yet, and also only tries to invent a new word occasionally which I think we can take as an equivalent. Although we do not know how many words Bubby already understands, we know that it is "less then evey single word you say to her", but a 2-year-old does understand literally every single word you say to them. 2-year-olds also understand a phone, and they have never once asked about that. So clearly Bunny's language currently is around age 1.5, but also less then that because she does not understand word order, although Billie does use better word order most of the time. A 7-year-old is literally doing some DIVISION. Plus humans do not at all need "same exact sound every single time" training to know words - Not even remotely. Dogs of course do know some words when they have never had any buttons at all. But the dogs who's owners are not saying the word exactly the same every time and also pressing the buttons back to them. These dogs do not even learn to produce all of the words that they already knew before getting the buttons! Or at least consistently and accurately even though they are pretty damn accurate about listening to the words they like that you can see have definite reactions. And there also of course are concepts that exist that all relevant adult mammals know, in case that is the reason why your stated age is so wildly, ridiculously higher-alleges then the truth, if the measurement is meant to be done via language learning capacity (rather then say, the maze and video games that were used to submit academic age equivalents of pigs, and which involves no language). For example, if dogs dream only about living with their owners and "realistic fiction", then we so not know whether dogs know that dreams aren't real, and should probably assume that they don't. However, if dogs dream like humans, and see giant trees that suddenly turn into processed meat and they live with a nonexistent different-race family or with only dog herds and then they wake up the second they can take a bite. Or even have dreams of having speech abilities to say whatever words that all pet dogs do understand such as "potty" or "c'mere" at the least. Then obviously all adult dogs do know that dreams are not real, because it's one of the many concepts that all adults (or adult mammals) know are real. If otters or mice or oppossums have such fantasy-tyoe dreams then all adult opossums and otters and mice obviously know that dreams aren't real too. So if "general adult knowledge" is part of the reason for your wild claim here then stop that. And if learning like 5 non-noun non-tike words is the reason, then stop that, because all 8-month-old human babies know a heck of a lot of words (and language-based concepts like how food is cookies and some things aren't food and only slightly older also knows which things aren't food but maybe 6-month olds really know this too because the 6-month-olds do actually know which things to not swallow on purpose actually in fact). And all 3-year-olds know every (normal/daily) pronoun that exists, and 100% of it's meaning, and articles, and most contractions even if the non-contracted version is also common daily usage, and a bunch of synonyms, and in most cases knows the easy common way to say something, for example Bunny does have all the buttons and all the vocabulary to have said "Want Schatzi bye pls, want talk more", maybe she does not actually understand "please", but instead she said "schatzi upstairs play", she did not even say "want" or "question" at all. The 2-year-old would have definitely said the former, (maybe without "please" because 2-year-okds are not nice when they want more for their turn or their play/attention ability!), and they would have said it in correct or almost-correct word order too, and they also would know that it's okay to say two sentences in "one then of it being your turn to talk" too, and none of that is even taught to them, really the only thing taught to a 2-year-old at all period is vocabularly. (And also letters but since they can't usually read the words that, that caveat was not important to include.) So obviously her language is not even slightly "like a 7-year-old", it isn't even like a 2-year-old and neither is her grasp of some intangible concepts although others did appear non-taught but they could have been taught off-camera and there are some with no evidence if whether she knows the concept or not, such as "love" and especially "friend". Of course all dogs even mature puppies most definitely do know somewhat of the concept of both "friend" and "enemy", and also of "acquaintance", but they obviously do not know any of those words and no evidence that Bunny has that concept of "the word "friend" either. But in any case, with intagible concepts, Bunny has to be specifically taught at least some of them and also has some that are words she can produce but does not understand. So very obviously in regards to IQ based on language acquisition is lower then a 2-year-old human. However their cam definitely be separate IQ measurements of other types of learning, but such tests have already been done and have measured below age 2.5 because the highest performer of IQ tests so far was pigs (I am not including the very different category of dolphins), and adult pigs measured around age human 2.5 - 3 in the majority of those tests. Of course they did not test every individual dog, or even a lot of dogs since dogs and cats are usually the least important measurement in these kinds of tests because we already have a very very large amount of information and experience about digs and cats and learning and possible I.Q.s etc.... although very very little about dog and cat nutrition!
This is fascinating! And also makes me cry for some reason. I love our pets and seeing that they can communicate with us, and shows how they feel really puts things into perspective. Sometimes I want to get my kitty buttons, then again, if he said “I love you,” I would cry my eyes out.
Bunny is so inquisitive! She just keeps wanting to learn more and more! She wants answers to the world around her! I just love her. Wish she didn't have gastrointestinal ouches but I'm glad she can tell you.
Bunny and her family are amazing. This proves that digs think about things on such a high a level - there is no way this is all coincidence. She is quite the thinker. I hope she can take this much further so we can understand better how things appear to our beloved canines. She has taken this so much further than I could ever imagine!
Couldn't resist 3:37: Just a steel town pup on a Saturday night Lookin' for the bite of his life In the real-time world no one smells him at all They all say he's crazy Locking rhythms to the beat of his paws Changing movement into hype He has chewed into the danger zone When the chaser becomes the chase It can sniff you from the inside, if the piss becomes desire On a wire between will and what will be He's a maniac, maniac on the couch And he's chewing like he's never chewed before He's a maniac, maniac on the couch And his teeth are sharp and they go bitey ooouch
I love the longer video, thank you.... Maybe "sleep talk" would work better than "night talk," because it describes dreaming at any time of day or night.
Aaaahhhh, I wish my pup could tell me when her tummy hurts. God, the quality of care you're able to give Buns because of the buttons is phenomenal. It really makes me wonder if I have a moral, ethical responsibility to give my pupper buttons
Oh my god, combine Bun's neurodevelopmental due to the buttons with epigenetics and I wonder if you could quite literally train a breed to be more adept with verbal communication
Bunny says I must subscribe so I did. I've been watching BilliSpeaks for the last few weeks and noticed some comments about bunny so I just had to come over and check her out. Bunny and otter are absolutely adorable. I love how well Bunny communicates. I completely LOVE how she describes dreams. The buttons are amazing. It's totally fascinating to get an insight into their thoughts. Thank you for sharing.
I laughed sooo hard at your moment with Otter on the couch! I make up songs off the cuff for my dog too. There are many times you remind me of myself and I crack up. 😂
Agree on the raised bowls for dogs and cats. Ouchie tummy = boiled up chicken and rice, unflavoured yoghurt and slowly reintroduce kibble. For an old man dog that is going to be a next step.
Poor Bunny, when my dog had a rough tummy the vet said to give her plain ground beef, browned and rinsed with water and mix it with rice . He said it was the easiest thing on her tum.
You and your sweet family make me smile! Your patience and skill is astounding! Thank you for hours of "feel good" content! Send Bunny and Otter hugs and kisses from my family! Thanks!
I like that Bunny is starting to talk about smells now. Have you asked Bunny questions like what your boyfriend and other things smells like? I am curious now if Bunny experiences scents completely different than us humans...
If I may. We already learn that Bunny dreams smells and sounds. There is also some videos on UA-cam on dogs smelling other dogs on theirs owners. I love it, it's so funny ! How far their extraodinary senses allow them to perceive the world ? I am so curious too !
@@oceaneo4603 I reckon explaining scents is going to be like explaining colors to a color-blind person for Bunny to us humans, but we can always try to understand... :)
@@willemvandebeek I heard where you smell a soup, the dog smells the carrot, the chicken, noodles, pepper, celery all distinctly. And when they smell each other's poop, they block out the noxious aspects and focus on the actual food, pheromones, etc.
She's so stinking smart. I hope her tummy is all better. Otter is a cutie. What are your thoughts on Bunny and Otter's relationship? Do you feel like she sees him as a buddy in the same sense as her other dog friends or is it different since he's always there?
I am astounded, like all Bunny's fans 🤗 at Bunny's assigning proper, accurate meaning to the words! We dog folk already realize & accept how intelligent our dogs are so it's science that needs to catch up. And we don't need science to 'validate' what we already know. Scientists tend to think they have the lock and the final say on intelligent life forms populating our planet.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a dog who sometimes just refuses to eat. Sometimes for several meals. It's worrying for a dog parent, but mine is still alive, so it usually resolves itself over time.
I'm so happy your dogs have a mom like you.❣ I get so sad and angry when I see people treating their animals badly. It's just so frustrating that animals have to pretty much be in imminent danger for animal control in my area ( a couple miles east of Portland, Oregon) to do anything because they're so overwhelmed with homeless animals... I have neighbors who recently got a puppy, about 16 to 20 weeks or so old now, and I have no idea why because they have no respect for animals. I won't go into details but I keep telling people about the puppy hoping someone steals him.
A lot of the time they need evidence to be able to do anything. Sneak video footage & photos that you can give them. Or if you can find somewhere for the pup to go, steal him yourself & get him to safety. I had the exact problem with a neighbour. Kept his dog tied up all the time. Never let it bark so he wasn’t a guard dog. Didn’t play with him & barely fed him. I fed him & loved him through the fence. I offered to let his dog play with mine & (because he was an a’hole), told him he never had to see me. Just put his dog in my garden & get him when he was ready. He said he had to tie him up because he escaped, so I put some fence materials on the front porch for him... he threw them back in my yard. Reported him to the RSPCA multiple times & they couldn’t find a problem so I started videoing. He moved before I could get anything done. Regret to this day I didn’t steal that poor pup when the owner was gone.
@@allisonjames2923 I cry at night thinking about him. I want to steal him but his neighbor on the other side has a camera that points directly at the dog. I keep telling people about the dog and his situation in hopes that I can talk someone into stealing him. Apparently just leaving your dog for hours and hours and hours alone isn't a punishable offense as long as they have water, food and you check on them (at least onece) in a 24 hour period (where I live). If there was no camera, I would have stolen him and given him to a good home. I just don't understand why someone would get a dog or puppy just to stick him in the yard and leave him there. It's like he's a toy that their A Hole daughter takes off a shelf, plays with for 20 minutes (and by "play" I do not mean play) and then puts it back and forgets about it for a week. It sickens me. I have told them they are cruel. Asked them why they bothered to get him as well as yelled at them for other generally sjitty dog related behaviors (hosing him down, outside, on a 40 degree (F) day and discipline him for crying/making noise) I started yelling at him "go over there and take your clothes off so I can hose you down with cold water for 20 minutes and let's see if you stand there silently and take it!" I HATE THEM!!
I had a german shepherd years ago that loved to dig in the snow, then into the mud below. She would make a nasty mess of a crater, then lay in it, happy as can be. When our youngest son was 3 or 4, he would dig in the mud right along side the dog. One of the neighbors called both animal control and cps, which was a little unnerving. Someone did steal our dog after 7 years of being part of our family. Our youngest is now 12, and he still gets angry that someone took his Maddy. I don't fault anyone for their good intentions, and I understand that people get very emotional if they think a pet or a child is being mistreated. Having neighbors with compassion and who pay attention is ideal, in my opinion. If we were bad people, like if something was really wrong here, and harm had later come to Jack or Maddy? It might be hard to live with, had the person not reported us. The only thing I would request is that people really think it through, bc nobody needs undue animosity in their neighborhood. When an officer or a state social worker knocks on your door, and you know you would never cause harm to any animal or any child, it just doesn't sit well at all. It feels like an intrusion. When Barb came by, Barb is our regular animal control officer, I was caught off guard. When the social worker showed up to inspect our home, it was a little bit much. I showed Barb a book about german shepherds that we had gotten for our children, which gave the basic "what to expect from your german shepherd" rundown, showing that this breed does well in far colder weather than we normally get. It can't be too cold if there is mud under the snow, after all. I demonstrated that our dog was trained and her food was higher quality, that she wasn't scared of us or anything. I did, however, suggest that she reassure the anonymous caller that our dog is quite happy, loved, and well cared for, no matter how messy she might appear some days, and to let them know they are welcome to knock or leave a note on our door if they are worried about the boy or the dog. I assured her we would never put either Maddy or Jack in danger, no matter how much mud and yuck they track in. We did stop letting them dig together in the snow after that, which seems silly looking back on it, now. I guess it put us on defense, like we had done something wrong. Now we have a rather pampered man cat named Fufu, and he and Jack get along quite well.
I had an Old English Sheepdog from a rescue many years ago. She was so gentle and well mannered. Her former owner must have spent a lot of time with her. She never jumped up on people or did the crotch sniffing thing. She loved walks and playing tug of war. But she did have the OE Sheepdog sensitive tummy. Sometimes she just couldn’t eat and it was best not to force it. She passed at about 14, and I miss her to this day. Your pups are so smart and cute! Wish I had known then that communication was possible.
I hope she feels better soon. I recently lost my best friend, he was a 120 lb Rottweiler and I loved him so much. But he loved to eat and in the end he wouldn't eat. It was so sad I still cry all the time. But when I find another fur baby I would like to try the buttons. It would have made it better to be able to diagnose his illness sooner. It's an amazing wonderful thing you are doing with your dog and for all dogs❤
I love, love, love you showing us your training with comments! Thank you! I haven’t had a dog since my teens & a poodle since around 5th grade; an i’m thing about getting a dog now in near retirement. TY again!
Bobby the boy dog didn't want to eat either. I had to fork feed him (he didn't like spoons). Finally I changed the brand. Only later did I find out that there was a huge recall. If Bunny doesn't like her food give her something else.
I just bought my starter pack today. I was using the random record buttons from Amazon but my littlest one doesn’t have long enough arms to be able to press them and she also isn’t strong enough. My older girl picked them up super quick. Here’s to hoping my girl will be on bunny’s level in the next 6 months or so.
You should tell bunny if she doesn’t want to eat, that no eating means more ouch, more food is happy, type of mentality. Hopefully it wouldn’t go to far the other way where she overeats but maybe to get them out of the mentality to stop eating when they’re feeling sick
All animals fast when they are sick, and humans should too. We have just lost our connection to our body so we have lost that knowledge. Humans are terrible at listening to their intuition, especially the intuition of the body. People need to stop forcing their animals to eat when they are sick. The body spends a lot of energy on digesting the food when it could use that energy to fight the sickness instead. That is why all animals don't eat when they are sick. It's their instinct telling them not to, so they listen to their "intuition"... They know what to do. That is why Bunny said "why? No". To her, it doesn't make any sense to eat when her instinct tells her not to. She is right, of course.
@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight thats a good point, fasting does help combat illness. Of course, if it was something more serious or chronic, the constant feeling of not wanting to eat could adversely affect you in the long run. if bunny skipped her meals multiple days in a row thats where I would probably draw the line
I was wondering, since Bunny is being studied, will you publish a book or a video tutorial on how you teach Bunny a word? I wish your buttons were available in my country because I want to teach my dogs, I will wait for it to come here one day. I watch your videos everyday, especially of Facebook, my day is not complete without seeing Bunny. Sending lots of love to you, Bunny and Otter! 💕😊
I love the fundraising at the end. I wish I could do more but I’m poor. Lol. What I have done, already, is to use your inspiration to really try to communicate with them!
My portuguese waterdog had a lot of brown ear wax that needed to be cleaned at least weekly and he also had ear infections. I tried different kinds of dry dog food (Brit Care lamb & rice was best) but the problems didn't go away until we started to feed him raw food (chicken + vegetable mix). I never figured out what cased the issues but glad we got rid of them.
Hmm... sleep talk is dream. Night talk isn't necessarily dream, but maybe just talking at night. Are you sure she isn't just asking wether talking in the afternoon is called dream as well, since she maybe now thinks talking at night is called dream? 😄
My guess is "Talk" for her is just a definition of general thought process, including dreams and stuff, but she is not exactly sure if dreaming at night is the same as dreaming in the afternoon, since time does matter a lot.
I really can't blame Bunny. Nobody would want to eat a daily bowl of the same brown stuff. In the US we get trained to believe that prepackaged "dog food" is the food we must give our dogs and anything else is terrible. It's not true though. In fact it's the opposite. Dogs fed commercial dog food live shorter lives (2-4 years shorter), and are more prone to illnesses throughout their shortened lives. I cook for my dog, but she also gets foods we eat as long as it is safe for her. Dogs evolved around humans for thousands of years. And until the last 40 or 50 years, we fed them what we ate. They evolved to digest the common foods humans eat as a result. Cooking for a dog doesn't have to be a big production either. I make simple recipes I find online and also come up with my own. I cook for her a couple of days a week and freeze extra meals to give her later. Dogs enjoy eating their meals with their families and their lives are richer when they get to enjoy interesting different foods frequently. Dogs are omnivores, just like humans. Omnivores need a variety of foods to be healthy and satisfied.
Social, pack animals for sure. Know that there are great improvements with quality ingredients doggy food and different forms so there ate healthier options. I had cooked for my dog too! He loved my cooking. I was honored 👍
Omg you are becoming a seasoned dog owner!!!! As exhibited by the “Butt poop” comment and the making up of dog songs to the tune of the 80’s hit Maniac. We do the same at my house. I’ve had dogs/cats for 50 yrs! 😂🤣❤️🐰🐶
Otter’s ear infections: have you ruled out food allergies? My doggy would get them and vet figured out he had a chicken allergy. Cleared up!! Hope Bunny is feeling better.
@@tommieswearingen4501 vet had me eliminate ingredients. Start simply by eliminating ingredients known to statistically be the culprits. Chicken was high on that list. Gradually add in. In my doggy’s case, When chicken was added back in he had upset tummy and the ear issues flared back up. It was strictly omitted permanently and again all cleared up. But it meant i made him beef broth and no more chicken soup. Sad. He really liked my homemade chicken soup (and a low sodium version). But he liked the beef soup I made for him.
My daughter asked for one of the Hex buttons for her birthday for her dog. We ordered it and hopefully it will be her by her birthday December 2nd. I loved this video and glad she told me about your talking dog.
Do dogs suffer from EHS? I automatically thought of it first when she said "word other", and then again when she said "ugh". So many people don't even realize they are sensitive to it or think it's ridiculous, but it's real and can cause debilitating affects especially on those in highly condensed areas. I've heard of other animals being sensitive and hadn't really thought about dogs being sensitive until I became absolutely fascinated with Bunny's ability to communicate.
Hey, Alexis. My sister has Doodles, & she SWEARS by the Chris Christensen brushes. They're EXTREMELY expensive, & she's NOT one to be extravagant (she's a pastor's wife & schoolteacher), but she says they're SO worth the $.

"Perhaps some fresh morning air would help my constitution and lessen this troublesome stomachache. Mother, I shall take my breakfast on the deck."
snicker
Maybe there is a smell inside?
🖤😂 exactly!!
I have a standard that wants his breakfast outside. Gotta work up the appetite, and going inside again ruins it. Evenings are fine though.
Right!!!? I was thinking, makes sense… you want fresh air when you feel ill. It’s freaking adorable to watch the care and attention given to Bunny and how they give her autonomy like this!!! I’m blown away actually.❤❤❤
Fascinating how her patience for miscommunication seems to be dwindling the larger her vocabulary gets. "Word other" is certainly a frustration I can empathise with.
You might want to try a raised bowl for them, can help with "belly ouch." Poodles and doodles can have bloat issues, which can be mitigated with raised bowls.
Or a slow bowl and or food mat
I did this for my cat; I got a cheap monitor stand to serve as a bowl stand for her food and water. Worked like a charm.
im pretty sure a raised bowl *is* what causes bloat.
Yes, we had raised dishes for our standard poodle,.
or real food not kibble. chicken and rice etc
"Why. No." - oh no, you've got a toddler!
Funnily enough, they say dogs actually have the same intelligence level as a 2 year old human child.
@@EyeconicLaura Yes, it was in the past but they raised that number up to 6/7 year old and now I think smart dogs are considered to be even higher up, I think I heard or read 10-12 year old but not sure. They're still figuring out I guess
@@evamaria7298 definitely depends on the breed and for obvious reasons it isn't a solid one to one comparison, especially with Boxers. THEY like to hide their smarts to get out of work. Lol.
@@titanbuck7 haha yes, didn't have a boxer yet but growing up we had a bernese mountain dog and she was the smartest dog I've ever known to this day, she just didn't show it immediately cause she was LAZY lol ...she was mostly seen laying around 😄 ...many people, even those who weren't 'dog people', said to us she reminded them more of a calm and wise human being. I still think of her... of course I loved all my other dogs and pets I had since but she sure was something special. Her and one cat I had were just insanely smart there's definitely differences to each individual
@@EyeconicLaura 3 or 5?
This shit blows my mind it's so obvious that she's really using human language to communicate. It really makes life better for both dogs and people to see this shit.. really great stuff
I know. I can't wait to see what Bunny and Otter talk about with each other!
If you think this is impressive you haven’t seen anything yet. Watch the other videos on this channel. Bunny really does knock it out of the park.
I think her best accomplishment so far was when she said “mad ouch stranger paw” and walked up to her mom and gave her left paw. There was a thorn stuck between her toes.
She’s not the only talking pet. Billi the cat told her mom that there was noise water when rain started to fall.
Stella the dog started this movement - she has some pretty impressive things to say too…
There’s also the chatty lab channel (copper).
But so far Bunny is the most proficient conversationalist I’ve seen.
The s- word, really? Kids read the comments. It isn't necessary 😕
"Why? No." For some reason made me laugh, she's so sassy, even when she's sick
Maybe she needs a “what-everrrrrr 🙄” button!
‘afternoon talk word other’ probably means she thinks the word dreaming only applies to night time so she needs a new word to describe dreaming during the afternoon. Wow I’m impressed she worked it out herself 😲😃
Like “daydream”?
Hello. What IS the nane.of those buttons? Thank you
Afternoon talk could be 'chatting' 🙂 She is so cute asking for another word for afternoon talk, that's exactly how I understood her as well

@@cbs70 Thank you
Sometimes when I feel Ugh I don’t have the words to explain why, either.
I guess "sleep talk" would be a better definition for dream. No wonder she's found it confusing. I'm amazed by the complex thoughts she has. ☺️

@@annabellak.2864 Thank you And blessed be
@@TBelle507 You are welcome.
Can you imagine having to do high level calculus just to talk? Bunny probably feels like this sometimes. Probably just wishes we'd all bark and wag tails like 'normal'.
Wow. She is confirming that she thinks “dream” means “night talk” and then she tries to confirm what other word is used for “afternoon talk”...awww
It's amazing how much that says about her capacity to understand language!
shes like “hi, human language tutor? what word do humans use to describe sleepy imagination movies when they happen during the day?” LOL
This might be the world first historical moment, a dog expresses her dreams and do communication with human language
Buns not feeling well and voicing it with the buttons kinda makes me wonder, what will she say when she gets really old, sick, etc? Will she have any reflection about the end of her life and voice it too?
I've had tons of dogs pass away in my family from old age and serious diseases.
I wish I had a way to know what they were thinking, maybe use that to ease their pain with proper medication. To vocally tell them that I loved them, and the final good bye, and have them understand it.
Yeah, things got a bit dark in my comment, but if you had at least one of your dogs pass away in your arms this is something that you'll wonder. xP
Hello whats the name of those buttons. Thank you
I was wondering about this myself. Would they hit the "bye" button knowing they're at the end of life?
Dogs always know how you feel if they know you… that’s the thing about dogs …they get body language well ❣️
Mine was barking in a very normal voice hours before passing. It still keeps me up at night wondering what she was saying
I’m dealing with this with a cat. He was my mothers cat, and then my fathers cat and now my cat but he is 22 years old and still doing okay expect for early stage kidney issues and possible thyroid problems but he sometimes pukes up his food and always screams at me for I don’t know what. He still jumps and plays and likes cat nip but I can’t touch him to groom him without sedating him and when I could afford it I had him shaved at my vets office. He started not using the litter box but has no UTI as I had him checked and given an antibiotic shot at the vet so it’s just a behavior thing but I don’t know what he is trying to tell me. He doesn’t seem in pain or anything but I don’t know when it’s right to put him down. I don’t want it just to be because he is a major inconvenience for me at the moment peeing all over.
Bunny it’s ok sometimes I have a belly ouch and can’t eat either. You take your time love muffin. Otty you are doing amazing!
Hello Abby.....
Takes my dog 15 seconds to eat WITH the slow feeder. can’t even imagine this, poor bun, hope your tummy feels better baby girl💕
Hello whats the name of those buttons. Thank you
I’m so insanely impressed by not just Bunny and Otter’s level of speech and comprehension, but the dedication put in by you. Training a dog/puppy can be hard just for the basics, and here you have such passion and focus that you’ve taught both your dogs to not only be angels but to talk. Your love for animals really shines through each video and it’s really refreshing and inspiring to see. I love hearing Bunny’s thoughts and emotions….the videos where she just calls for “mom” and tells you little things like “love you” “I dog we friends” or “why dog” give me a happiness I can’t even describe. Thank you for your work and for uploading these!
“Ouch” “All done” my heavens this dog melts my heart with every dang video!
I have Crohn’s and get belly ouch on the regular. Not eating in response to pain is not necessarily bad, and usually provides relief until the belly ouch passes in a day or two (pushing food into a sore stomach can exacerbate things, and I avoid solid food after a flareup). In Bunny’s case I would not presume to know what triggered it, but keeping an eye on inputs and outputs so to speak might provide clues as to what the issue is. You could also try something unlikely to cause any problems like bone broth if she is not eating for too long, just to get some nutrition into her. That enormous bowl of food made me cringe. That’s a lot when things are sore 😢 ‘why no’ indeed.
That kibble cr*p is not always good for the stomach. can you imagine eating only nutritional biscuits?!
Chicken soup for dogs?! Why does that sound so bizarre yet common sense?
Hello whats the name of those buttons. Thank you
Same, sometimes you need something really gentle or nothing at all..
We also eat easily digestible human foods when our stomachs are upset so it makes sense
Bunny is getting better at this "talking" Thing

Otty is growing so much. You take such amazing care if them both!
Don’t worry if Bunny doesn’t want to eat. Focus on her gastro symptoms. Make sure she drinks water, etc. If she misses some meals now she will naturally catch up when she is feeling better. Let her get back gradually.
Bunny has written another book !
Bunny looks just like my McDuff, an Old English SheepDog. He had terrible stomach problems. He ended up with stomach ulcers and almost died with them. He ended up in doggy hospital for a week on IV and medications. He came home with instructions to feed him lean chicken daily. So I cleaned up boneless chicken breasts and baked them. Then I cut it up ontop of his kibble each night. He continued to eat vanilla yogurt twice a day which he always loved.
Once he healed up, there was no stopping the chicken. When I tried, he looked at me like, hey! You forgot something! He wouldn t eat without it. But the ulcers were gone and stayed gone! So, the cut up chicken remained.
Hello. WHATS the name of those buttons. Thank you
@@TBelle507 do you mean the buttons on the floor that Bunny hits to talk? You need to address that question to the home page. She has provided all of that info before. You should be able to find it there.
@@karencrawford4068 Thank you
@@TBelle507 you are welcome. Good luck!
My old Golden also loved yoghurt. Specially Greek ones.
“ go eat your food” is something never uttered to our 4 dogs . Always eaten as soon as bowl is put down! Homemade and raw!!!!
I don’t know about you, but the fact that bunny can question “why” just shows how much future this dog has.
I'd definitely try a raised bowl for bunny and otter both
She’s ready for awake, asleep, etc. Antonyms & synonyms! Basically, she’s proving dogs are as smart as @ least 6-7 yr old humans, as a baseline. It’s gonna be scientifically interesting to see Otter grow up & evolve w/human linguistics from puppyhood!
....No. Not even slightly. Bunny has no idea of word order and just says words in any random order, even though 1.5-year-olds understand the order generally unless they do not yet say 3-word-semtemces at all. The first day of 3-word sentences will most likely have zero sentences in an extremely wrong word order. 5-year-olds can read, and all 2-year-olds know that every capital L they see is an L, regardless of how it's written, is it curvy or longer or shorter then that other capital L, etc. But none of the pets will recognize any of the words in a book even though the rest of the pets all have only the words written on the buttons with letters only. 6-year-olds also understand every single word without exception that you say to them unless you say "pharmaceutical" or something. 2-year-olds ask the name of every single thing they see nonstop every day, but Bunny only asks occasionally about the meaning of words she knows that she doesn't completely understand yet, and also only tries to invent a new word occasionally which I think we can take as an equivalent. Although we do not know how many words Bubby already understands, we know that it is "less then evey single word you say to her", but a 2-year-old does understand literally every single word you say to them. 2-year-olds also understand a phone, and they have never once asked about that. So clearly Bunny's language currently is around age 1.5, but also less then that because she does not understand word order, although Billie does use better word order most of the time. A 7-year-old is literally doing some DIVISION. Plus humans do not at all need "same exact sound every single time" training to know words - Not even remotely. Dogs of course do know some words when they have never had any buttons at all. But the dogs who's owners are not saying the word exactly the same every time and also pressing the buttons back to them. These dogs do not even learn to produce all of the words that they already knew before getting the buttons! Or at least consistently and accurately even though they are pretty damn accurate about listening to the words they like that you can see have definite reactions. And there also of course are concepts that exist that all relevant adult mammals know, in case that is the reason why your stated age is so wildly, ridiculously higher-alleges then the truth, if the measurement is meant to be done via language learning capacity (rather then say, the maze and video games that were used to submit academic age equivalents of pigs, and which involves no language). For example, if dogs dream only about living with their owners and "realistic fiction", then we so not know whether dogs know that dreams aren't real, and should probably assume that they don't. However, if dogs dream like humans, and see giant trees that suddenly turn into processed meat and they live with a nonexistent different-race family or with only dog herds and then they wake up the second they can take a bite. Or even have dreams of having speech abilities to say whatever words that all pet dogs do understand such as "potty" or "c'mere" at the least. Then obviously all adult dogs do know that dreams are not real, because it's one of the many concepts that all adults (or adult mammals) know are real. If otters or mice or oppossums have such fantasy-tyoe dreams then all adult opossums and otters and mice obviously know that dreams aren't real too. So if "general adult knowledge" is part of the reason for your wild claim here then stop that. And if learning like 5 non-noun non-tike words is the reason, then stop that, because all 8-month-old human babies know a heck of a lot of words (and language-based concepts like how food is cookies and some things aren't food and only slightly older also knows which things aren't food but maybe 6-month olds really know this too because the 6-month-olds do actually know which things to not swallow on purpose actually in fact). And all 3-year-olds know every (normal/daily) pronoun that exists, and 100% of it's meaning, and articles, and most contractions even if the non-contracted version is also common daily usage, and a bunch of synonyms, and in most cases knows the easy common way to say something, for example Bunny does have all the buttons and all the vocabulary to have said "Want Schatzi bye pls, want talk more", maybe she does not actually understand "please", but instead she said "schatzi upstairs play", she did not even say "want" or "question" at all. The 2-year-old would have definitely said the former, (maybe without "please" because 2-year-okds are not nice when they want more for their turn or their play/attention ability!), and they would have said it in correct or almost-correct word order too, and they also would know that it's okay to say two sentences in "one then of it being your turn to talk" too, and none of that is even taught to them, really the only thing taught to a 2-year-old at all period is vocabularly. (And also letters but since they can't usually read the words that, that caveat was not important to include.) So obviously her language is not even slightly "like a 7-year-old", it isn't even like a 2-year-old and neither is her grasp of some intangible concepts although others did appear non-taught but they could have been taught off-camera and there are some with no evidence if whether she knows the concept or not, such as "love" and especially "friend". Of course all dogs even mature puppies most definitely do know somewhat of the concept of both "friend" and "enemy", and also of "acquaintance", but they obviously do not know any of those words and no evidence that Bunny has that concept of "the word "friend" either. But in any case, with intagible concepts, Bunny has to be specifically taught at least some of them and also has some that are words she can produce but does not understand. So very obviously in regards to IQ based on language acquisition is lower then a 2-year-old human. However their cam definitely be separate IQ measurements of other types of learning, but such tests have already been done and have measured below age 2.5 because the highest performer of IQ tests so far was pigs (I am not including the very different category of dolphins), and adult pigs measured around age human 2.5 - 3 in the majority of those tests. Of course they did not test every individual dog, or even a lot of dogs since dogs and cats are usually the least important measurement in these kinds of tests because we already have a very very large amount of information and experience about digs and cats and learning and possible I.Q.s etc.... although very very little about dog and cat nutrition!
This is fascinating! And also makes me cry for some reason. I love our pets and seeing that they can communicate with us, and shows how they feel really puts things into perspective.
Sometimes I want to get my kitty buttons, then again, if he said “I love you,” I would cry my eyes out.
Then don't teach him I love you
Bunny is so inquisitive! She just keeps wanting to learn more and more! She wants answers to the world around her! I just love her. Wish she didn't have gastrointestinal ouches but I'm glad she can tell you.
It has been my great joy and distinct privilege to watch Bunny progress in her fluency. Thank you for sharing her with us.
Bunny and her family are amazing. This proves that digs think about things on such a high a level - there is no way this is all coincidence. She is quite the thinker. I hope she can take this much further so we can understand better how things appear to our beloved canines. She has taken this so much further than I could ever imagine!
Couldn't resist 3:37:
Just a steel town pup on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the bite of his life
In the real-time world no one smells him at all
They all say he's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of his paws
Changing movement into hype
He has chewed into the danger zone
When the chaser becomes the chase
It can sniff you from the inside, if the piss becomes desire
On a wire between will and what will be
He's a maniac, maniac on the couch
And he's chewing like he's never chewed before
He's a maniac, maniac on the couch
And his teeth are sharp and they go bitey ooouch
Fabulous…you could record it and send to Bunny 🐰 and Otter 🦦 !
I love the longer video, thank you.... Maybe "sleep talk" would work better than "night talk," because it describes dreaming at any time of day or night.
I think she described it that way because Bunny asked what is the word for night talk. And the mom said “dream”.
Aw, I hope Bunbun feels better soon. Otter's a handsome boy. 💛
Aaaahhhh, I wish my pup could tell me when her tummy hurts. God, the quality of care you're able to give Buns because of the buttons is phenomenal. It really makes me wonder if I have a moral, ethical responsibility to give my pupper buttons
Oh my god, combine Bun's neurodevelopmental due to the buttons with epigenetics and I wonder if you could quite literally train a breed to be more adept with verbal communication
Bunny says I must subscribe so I did. I've been watching BilliSpeaks for the last few weeks and noticed some comments about bunny so I just had to come over and check her out. Bunny and otter are absolutely adorable. I love how well Bunny communicates. I completely LOVE how she describes dreams. The buttons are amazing. It's totally fascinating to get an insight into their thoughts. Thank you for sharing.
My goodness, Bunny already knew her vocabulary is not enough?
I laughed sooo hard at your moment with Otter on the couch! I make up songs off the cuff for my dog too. There are many times you remind me of myself and I crack up. 😂
I love that she can communicate her wants and what is going on inside her head
This is AMAZING. I haven't watched her for a while and she's so much momre advanced now. Wow.
Sometimes I eat outside with fresh air when I'm feeling bad too.
Hope Bunny feels better soon🦋Bunny always brightens my day and makes me smile when sometimes I don’t want to 🌹🦋🌹
Agree on the raised bowls for dogs and cats. Ouchie tummy = boiled up chicken and rice, unflavoured yoghurt and slowly reintroduce kibble. For an old man dog that is going to be a next step.
Poor Bunny, when my dog had a rough tummy the vet said to give her plain ground beef, browned and rinsed with water and mix it with rice . He said it was the easiest thing on her tum.
Our vet gave us a similar recipe but we had to add some mineral to it. I assume it must have been missing it.
That's what my sister's vet told us. For years.
It was the only thing that she could handle.
Now she also eats fruit and veggies, in small quantities.

Have you asked Bunny questions like what your boyfriend and other things smells like?
I am curious now if Bunny experiences scents completely different than us humans...
If I may. We already learn that Bunny dreams smells and sounds.
There is also some videos on UA-cam on dogs smelling other dogs on theirs owners. I love it, it's so funny !
How far their extraodinary senses allow them to perceive the world ? I am so curious too !

@@willemvandebeek I heard where you smell a soup, the dog smells the carrot, the chicken, noodles, pepper, celery all distinctly.
And when they smell each other's poop, they block out the noxious aspects and focus on the actual food, pheromones, etc.
Or what about taste. Like sour salty ect. Maybe we can learn what flavors dogs prefer or at least bunny likes more.

She's so stinking smart. I hope her tummy is all better. Otter is a cutie. What are your thoughts on Bunny and Otter's relationship? Do you feel like she sees him as a buddy in the same sense as her other dog friends or is it different since he's always there?
Bunny is the lovebug of lovebugs! 🐾❤️ The flash dance rendition 🤪👍
I swear tgat dog blows my mind . Tgank u fir sharing her w us !!!!!!!
I am astounded, like all Bunny's fans 🤗 at Bunny's assigning proper, accurate meaning to the words! We dog folk already realize & accept how intelligent our dogs are so it's science that needs to catch up. And we don't need science to 'validate' what we already know. Scientists tend to think they have the lock and the final say on intelligent life forms populating our planet.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with a dog who sometimes just refuses to eat. Sometimes for several meals. It's worrying for a dog parent, but mine is still alive, so it usually resolves itself over time.
Bunny and Otty are just so adorable 🥰. I can imagine Bunny gives gorgeous cuddles.
I'm so happy your dogs have a mom like you.❣ I get so sad and angry when I see people treating their animals badly. It's just so frustrating that animals have to pretty much be in imminent danger for animal control in my area ( a couple miles east of Portland, Oregon) to do anything because they're so overwhelmed with homeless animals... I have neighbors who recently got a puppy, about 16 to 20 weeks or so old now, and I have no idea why because they have no respect for animals. I won't go into details but I keep telling people about the puppy hoping someone steals him.
A lot of the time they need evidence to be able to do anything. Sneak video footage & photos that you can give them. Or if you can find somewhere for the pup to go, steal him yourself & get him to safety. I had the exact problem with a neighbour. Kept his dog tied up all the time. Never let it bark so he wasn’t a guard dog. Didn’t play with him & barely fed him. I fed him & loved him through the fence. I offered to let his dog play with mine & (because he was an a’hole), told him he never had to see me. Just put his dog in my garden & get him when he was ready. He said he had to tie him up because he escaped, so I put some fence materials on the front porch for him... he threw them back in my yard. Reported him to the RSPCA multiple times & they couldn’t find a problem so I started videoing. He moved before I could get anything done.
Regret to this day I didn’t steal that poor pup when the owner was gone.
@@allisonjames2923 maybe someone can learn from your story
@@allisonjames2923 I cry at night thinking about him. I want to steal him but his neighbor on the other side has a camera that points directly at the dog. I keep telling people about the dog and his situation in hopes that I can talk someone into stealing him. Apparently just leaving your dog for hours and hours and hours alone isn't a punishable offense as long as they have water, food and you check on them (at least onece) in a 24 hour period (where I live). If there was no camera, I would have stolen him and given him to a good home. I just don't understand why someone would get a dog or puppy just to stick him in the yard and leave him there. It's like he's a toy that their A Hole daughter takes off a shelf, plays with for 20 minutes (and by "play" I do not mean play) and then puts it back and forgets about it for a week. It sickens me. I have told them they are cruel. Asked them why they bothered to get him as well as yelled at them for other generally sjitty dog related behaviors (hosing him down, outside, on a 40 degree (F) day and discipline him for crying/making noise) I started yelling at him "go over there and take your clothes off so I can hose you down with cold water for 20 minutes and let's see if you stand there silently and take it!" I HATE THEM!!
I had a german shepherd years ago that loved to dig in the snow, then into the mud below. She would make a nasty mess of a crater, then lay in it, happy as can be. When our youngest son was 3 or 4, he would dig in the mud right along side the dog. One of the neighbors called both animal control and cps, which was a little unnerving. Someone did steal our dog after 7 years of being part of our family. Our youngest is now 12, and he still gets angry that someone took his Maddy.
I don't fault anyone for their good intentions, and I understand that people get very emotional if they think a pet or a child is being mistreated. Having neighbors with compassion and who pay attention is ideal, in my opinion. If we were bad people, like if something was really wrong here, and harm had later come to Jack or Maddy? It might be hard to live with, had the person not reported us. The only thing I would request is that people really think it through, bc nobody needs undue animosity in their neighborhood. When an officer or a state social worker knocks on your door, and you know you would never cause harm to any animal or any child, it just doesn't sit well at all. It feels like an intrusion.
When Barb came by, Barb is our regular animal control officer, I was caught off guard. When the social worker showed up to inspect our home, it was a little bit much. I showed Barb a book about german shepherds that we had gotten for our children, which gave the basic "what to expect from your german shepherd" rundown, showing that this breed does well in far colder weather than we normally get. It can't be too cold if there is mud under the snow, after all. I demonstrated that our dog was trained and her food was higher quality, that she wasn't scared of us or anything. I did, however, suggest that she reassure the anonymous caller that our dog is quite happy, loved, and well cared for, no matter how messy she might appear some days, and to let them know they are welcome to knock or leave a note on our door if they are worried about the boy or the dog. I assured her we would never put either Maddy or Jack in danger, no matter how much mud and yuck they track in. We did stop letting them dig together in the snow after that, which seems silly looking back on it, now. I guess it put us on defense, like we had done something wrong.
Now we have a rather pampered man cat named Fufu, and he and Jack get along quite well.
Intelligent fur baby!
Wow this is absolutely amazing, Polly has trained Martin to sit and stay using the buttons.
I had an Old English Sheepdog from a rescue many years ago. She was so gentle and well mannered. Her former owner must have spent a lot of time with her. She never jumped up on people or did the crotch sniffing thing. She loved walks and playing tug of war. But she did have the OE Sheepdog sensitive tummy. Sometimes she just couldn’t eat and it was best not to force it. She passed at about 14, and I miss her to this day.
Your pups are so smart and cute! Wish I had known then that communication was possible.
This would be an excellent tool for disabled vets like me with service dogs!
Love the golden dress on the doll @7:08
Such a good pupper mom ❤
I hope she feels better soon. I recently lost my best friend, he was a 120 lb Rottweiler and I loved him so much. But he loved to eat and in the end he wouldn't eat. It was so sad I still cry all the time. But when I find another fur baby I would like to try the buttons. It would have made it better to be able to diagnose his illness sooner. It's an amazing wonderful thing you are doing with your dog and for all dogs❤
...Bunny thinks like a human already...You are very amazing at teaching him.
What you do is brilliant ! Thanks so much for what you are doing for pets, and their “owners” 👍🥰
I really love that you are giving pets a voice ♥️

Bobby the boy dog didn't want to eat either. I had to fork feed him (he didn't like spoons). Finally I changed the brand. Only later did I find out that there was a huge recall. If Bunny doesn't like her food give her something else.

@@brendalg4 I bet she has. I just felt so bad with that big Nutro dog food recall.
I love these longer, horizontal videos.
it's been quite a while since I've watched a Bunny video, she has so many more buttons now! 😮 ...and a swish new hair-cut! 😊
I just bought my starter pack today. I was using the random record buttons from Amazon but my littlest one doesn’t have long enough arms to be able to press them and she also isn’t strong enough. My older girl picked them up super quick. Here’s to hoping my girl will be on bunny’s level in the next 6 months or so.
I have a lab puppy who understands so many words but I can't get her to press the buttons.
Why bunny UGH? I hope she's feeling better!! We love her and otter so!!😊❤❤❤❤

Bunny has gotten such an extensive vocabulary there simply can’t be enough buttons. How much more would she say if she was able to talk?
You should tell bunny if she doesn’t want to eat, that no eating means more ouch, more food is happy, type of mentality. Hopefully it wouldn’t go to far the other way where she overeats but maybe to get them out of the mentality to stop eating when they’re feeling sick
Hello What IS the name of those buttons.thank you
All animals fast when they are sick, and humans should too. We have just lost our connection to our body so we have lost that knowledge. Humans are terrible at listening to their intuition, especially the intuition of the body. People need to stop forcing their animals to eat when they are sick. The body spends a lot of energy on digesting the food when it could use that energy to fight the sickness instead. That is why all animals don't eat when they are sick. It's their instinct telling them not to, so they listen to their "intuition"... They know what to do. That is why Bunny said "why? No". To her, it doesn't make any sense to eat when her instinct tells her not to. She is right, of course.
@@DolphinsPlayingInAquaMoonlight thats a good point, fasting does help combat illness. Of course, if it was something more serious or chronic, the constant feeling of not wanting to eat could adversely affect you in the long run. if bunny skipped her meals multiple days in a row thats where I would probably draw the line
I was wondering, since Bunny is being studied, will you publish a book or a video tutorial on how you teach Bunny a word? I wish your buttons were available in my country because I want to teach my dogs, I will wait for it to come here one day. I watch your videos everyday, especially of Facebook, my day is not complete without seeing Bunny. Sending lots of love to you, Bunny and Otter! 💕😊
Yo this is effin crazy. This dog is crazy smart.
I love the fundraising at the end. I wish I could do more but I’m poor. Lol. What I have done, already, is to use your inspiration to really try to communicate with them!
Both doggos are gorgeous! !!!💖🐾❤🐾😍
Adorable dogs
You’re such a good dog mom!!!!!!❤🏆🙌
My portuguese waterdog had a lot of brown ear wax that needed to be cleaned at least weekly and he also had ear infections. I tried different kinds of dry dog food (Brit Care lamb & rice was best) but the problems didn't go away until we started to feed him raw food (chicken + vegetable mix). I never figured out what cased the issues but glad we got rid of them.
I really enjoy your videos ... all of them. But I want to say that I appreciate the education you provide in the videos, too.
Hmm... sleep talk is dream. Night talk isn't necessarily dream, but maybe just talking at night. Are you sure she isn't just asking wether talking in the afternoon is called dream as well, since she maybe now thinks talking at night is called dream? 😄
My guess is "Talk" for her is just a definition of general thought process, including dreams and stuff, but she is not exactly sure if dreaming at night is the same as dreaming in the afternoon, since time does matter a lot.
I really can't blame Bunny. Nobody would want to eat a daily bowl of the same brown stuff. In the US we get trained to believe that prepackaged "dog food" is the food we must give our dogs and anything else is terrible. It's not true though. In fact it's the opposite. Dogs fed commercial dog food live shorter lives (2-4 years shorter), and are more prone to illnesses throughout their shortened lives.
I cook for my dog, but she also gets foods we eat as long as it is safe for her. Dogs evolved around humans for thousands of years. And until the last 40 or 50 years, we fed them what we ate. They evolved to digest the common foods humans eat as a result. Cooking for a dog doesn't have to be a big production either. I make simple recipes I find online and also come up with my own. I cook for her a couple of days a week and freeze extra meals to give her later. Dogs enjoy eating their meals with their families and their lives are richer when they get to enjoy interesting different foods frequently. Dogs are omnivores, just like humans. Omnivores need a variety of foods to be healthy and satisfied.
Social, pack animals for sure. Know that there are great improvements with quality ingredients doggy food and different forms so there ate healthier options. I had cooked for my dog too! He loved my cooking. I was honored 👍
I sing the maniac on the couch song to my dog after hearing it here. 😊
Omg you are becoming a seasoned dog owner!!!! As exhibited by the “Butt poop” comment and the making up of dog songs to the tune of the 80’s hit Maniac. We do the same at my house. I’ve had dogs/cats for 50 yrs! 😂🤣❤️🐰🐶
Otter’s ear infections: have you ruled out food allergies? My doggy would get them and vet figured out he had a chicken allergy. Cleared up!! Hope Bunny is feeling better.
Interesting. How was that determined? One of my little chis is constantly trying to scratch deep into her ear.
@@tommieswearingen4501 vet had me eliminate ingredients. Start simply by eliminating ingredients known to statistically be the culprits. Chicken was high on that list. Gradually add in. In my doggy’s case, When chicken was added back in he had upset tummy and the ear issues flared back up. It was strictly omitted permanently and again all cleared up. But it meant i made him beef broth and no more chicken soup. Sad. He really liked my homemade chicken soup (and a low sodium version). But he liked the beef soup I made for him.
My daughter asked for one of the Hex buttons for her birthday for her dog. We ordered it and hopefully it will be her by her birthday December 2nd. I loved this video and glad she told me about your talking dog.
For us, coconut oil made for great ear wipes. Adding a little neem and tea tree made for a good ear cleaner for us.
We're having the same problem with my husband actually eating anything. I told him about this video and he said that he understands completely. :)
I'm having this exact issue.
Poor Bunny. I hopeher belly ouch goes away quickly.
"go play with your dogs"
Me: looks over at all three of my dogs taking their third nap of the day
Thank you for CAPTIONing and open captions. Appreciate y'all
Do dogs suffer from EHS? I automatically thought of it first when she said "word other", and then again when she said "ugh". So many people don't even realize they are sensitive to it or think it's ridiculous, but it's real and can cause debilitating affects especially on those in highly condensed areas. I've heard of other animals being sensitive and hadn't really thought about dogs being sensitive until I became absolutely fascinated with Bunny's ability to communicate.
Hey, Alexis. My sister has Doodles, & she SWEARS by the Chris Christensen brushes. They're EXTREMELY expensive, & she's NOT one to be extravagant (she's a pastor's wife & schoolteacher), but she says they're SO worth the $.
Whoa. It makes perfect sense! Of course they should be training the doggos to not step on the buttons accidentally.
💙🤗💙 I'm so GLAD I started FOLLOWING BUNNY from the 3rd VIDEO you POSTED💙PROGRESS is AWESOME💙MAYBE she's WATCHING her GIRLISH FIGURE💙🤗💙11.3.21💙🤗💙
Love these longer videos. Little bit of Otty here and there is good, he is a good boy. But Buns is Buns :)
Bunny is amazing!
