King Louie

Octopus!

About a week ago, I bought a little squid looking puppy toy for Louie. When I introduced it to him the first time, I said "Octopus!"

After that, every time I handed him the toy, I'd say the same thing, "Octopus!" My boyfriend even started saying it :)

Today he was playing with the octopus, then, after a while, was sitting looking up at me with the toy at his feet. I said "Octopus!" without doing anything. He sorta looked halfway down towards the toy, then back up at me... I said "Get it!" and he immediately grabbed the octopus and started playing with it!

I laughed and told him he was a good boy and let him play for a while. A few minutes later, he looked like he was settling down for a little nap. He was in one corner of his playpen with the octopus in the other corner where he had left it. I wanted to check to see if it was just a fluke, so I said it again, "Octopus!"

He looked right at the toy, I said "Get it!" -- and he went up to it, put it in his mouth, then dropped it and looked up at me like "Yeah, I got it, it's an octopus!"
