    I need some of these people who make little apartments for their pets to come do my place…

    I’m squinting at that sloth and counting on my fingers. I think something is up.

      lol…you sent me a’googling. They have two toes on their front feet and three on the back. In the instagram video at the bottom of the article you can see her front feet.

        Ohhhhhh, ok. Wow that’s confusing. We need to find better names for these animals. How about Edwin and Jake?

      I had the same though and it also sent me googling LOL!

    That dog is not only British he’s from Liverpool or somewhere else in Northern England!

      Nah, listen to the vowel in “love”—that’s southeastern.

        Also the intonation pattern. Sounds like an old-fashioned London working-class “cheeky chappy.” Although I’m not sure that’s really the dog. It certainly sounds uncanny.

        I research and teach accents and dialects professionally. Naturally I’m capable of being mistaken, but I don’t hear anything northern in doggo, who is adorable regardless.

          ooh, you’re a modern-day ‘Enry ‘Iggins, then?

            Henry Higgins was fictional. But if we pretend for a moment that he was real: Although highly knowledgeable about accents, Henry Higgins was a truly terrible accent coach! I would fire any coach as abusive to clients as he was. There are much better ways to achieve optimal results with accents, and it is better coaching to consider your clients’ personal goals.

            It was Colonel Pickering who taught Liza Doolittle how to be a lady. Higgins only achieved making Liza unfit for the employment she sought in a flower shop.

            Why yes, I do take this work seriously. Why do you ask? 😉

              I think your work is cool. Especially when you can do it for a dog.

              • Ricky & Bibi's Mom November 25, 2025 / 11:58 pm

                If only I were good enough to coach a dog in different accents! Then I would really be something. 🤣

                BTW, I found the same Westie in a TikTok where it is clear that is genuinely the dog making those sounds. His name is Arlo!

                  We had a family friend when I was a kid who had a Scottie who could say his own name – Ralph!

                    Hee-hee!

    Fruit Fly has turned my brain to mush. What a doll!
