Likewise, mentioning what stuff is exactly in English isn’t necessary… Buddy has different shaped toys that i throw for him in the yard, into the pool and into the street when there’s an oncoming car sometimes just to f#ck with him – but i call them all “sticks”. when i first got him in the late 90′s, i wasn’t a famous and successful international superstar and model yet so he didn’t have fetching toys, he just had sticks. so he learned “go get the stick!”. a couple times id try to be correct and say “get the ball” or “go get the Frisbee” or “go get that rubber beehive thing with the ball inside it that was 25% off at Petsmart” – but none of that is really necessary and its kindov silly to use. so i just call everything a stick so he doesn’t get confused.
same with animals i train him to kill. in Missouri he learned both “geese” and “ducks” to go chase away when they’d come up in my back yard (what, you dont remember that i lived on Lake St Louis? get your ass over the archives, bitch. wtf). but now he only knows “squirrel”. so rabbits, coyotee’s and racial minorities that wander into my back yard get called “squirrel” so his ears perk up and he knows to go run and kill it.
