Yeah, so it's apparently a quite popular product.
I don't sell them.
I don't make them.
I have no affiliation with any company that produces them.
But
basically is a button that you can record your voice on for example you can say outside or i love you or bye and when it's pressed it just reproduces that sound so you could use it for fun with friends with a kid but it has now in the last few years been used with dogs and cats in people's homes and people have been training their pets to basically use these devices to
let them know when they want to go outside when they want food or when they're upset about something
No, I mean, absolutely.
It's learned in the same way.
I guess the difference is, you know, they can scratch the door and you know they want to go outside, but you don't know why they want to go outside.
Do they need to go poo?
Do they need to, did they hear something they want to chase?
Squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.
I think the difference is there might be for some people, it might be beneficial to know, for example, when you're hungry, when you're thirsty, when you want to play, when you have any other kind of issue.
Some dogs communicate about being in pain.
And I think, again, you might imagine that they're sick.
You might know that they have a problem, but you don't know what body part they have a problem in, right?
So the idea is that it's supposed to be, and again, I'm not making them, so I'm not trying to sell it.
It's supposed to be another tool to kind of gather a little more information about what's going on through their minds.
Well, you know, my answer to this is like, when your partner says, I love you, do they mean it?
