Dog Language Discovery: Dogs Understand Words Like Young Children

Dog Language Discovery: Dogs Understand Words Like Young Children For decades, scientists believed that the ability to understand language concepts was one of the defining features of human intelligence. While many animals can respond to commands or recognize sounds, true language comprehension was considered a uniquely human skill. Now, a remarkable new discovery is forcing researchers to rethink that assumption. Studies involving exceptionally talented dogs have revealed that some can do far more than simply react to familiar commands. These dogs appear capable of understanding words, concepts, and even the function of objects in ways that closely resemble the learning patterns of young children. The findings are generating excitement among scientists and dog lovers alike because they suggest that canine intelligence may be much more sophisticated than previously imagined. Dogs Do Not Just Learn Words, They Learn Meaning Most dog owners know that their pets can recognize words ...

6.26 Friday Faves 

6.26 Friday Faves  Hiiii! Happy Friday! What’s going on this weekend? P has double soccer games and double basketball game, Liv and I are seeing a musical and grabbing lunch with friends, and looking forward to some pool time at home. No concept of personal space: P and I spent one whole day swimming this week and it was everything. We learned that Lola loves to be pushed around the pool on the raft, we ate gluten-free Cheeze-Its and popsicles, blasted 90s country music, played fetch with Maisey, tons of water games (one ridiculous one where she dunks me if I don’t know which color she has in her mind), and floated on pool loungers. The liiiiiiiife. I hope you’re having the best summer, too! It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below. 6.26 Friday Faves Fashion, beauty, random...

207: What Your Doctor Isn’t Testing | Thyroid, Hormones, and Getting Real Answers with Ashley Cruz Arata

207: What Your Doctor Isn’t Testing | Thyroid, Hormones, and Getting Real Answers with Ashley Cruz Arata Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we are talking all about thyroid health, hormones, and why so many women are being told they’re “fine” when they are absolutely not. I’m talking with my friend Ashley Cruz Arata, certified Integrative Health Practitioner and hormone specialist. For years she was dismissed by doctors who her me everything was fine because “all the labs were normal.” Meanwhile, she was dealing with 35 lbs of weight gain, relentless joint pain, brain fog and crippling fatigue. She eventually healed herself and now helps high-achieving women 35+ get the real answers their doctors have been missing. I think you are going to love her. Check out what we chat about: Why conventional thyroid testing only looks at two markers and why that is a massive problem for millions of women The labs you should actually be asking...

The best deals from Prime Day (things you’ll actually use) Sharing a roundup of my top finds from this year’s Prime Day! Hiii friends! How are you? I hope that your week is going well! We celebrated Father’s Day, the Pilot and I had a much-needed date night, and P had a soccer friends swim party. Today, I wanted to share a roundup of the best finds from Prime Day sales. TBH, this sale can be overwhelming and so many creatorsare sharing their favorite finds. I wanted to make my list a bit smaller, majorly focusing on quality over quantity. Everything on this list is something that we use and love, or that I’m planning on buying. It’s a great time to stock up on some things you need, new products you’ve had your eye on, or maybe order a couple of holiday gifts in advance. Here are my top picks for this year! My Amazon storefront has the full roundup for easy browsing, too. *a little note: this post contains affiliate links which allow me to earn a small commission. Ever...
