Oh Absolutely!! "God Bless You Sweetie" esp; after grass sniffing, "OOO Piggy!" after a burp. But the funniest of all was when Iwas teaching Cody to heel in puppygarden class. He walked in front of me, I stepped on his little heel, said "excuse me pups" and the teacher went ballistic that I had the audacity to apologize to my dog, but I tried to explain that I even say "excuse me" when I bump into chairs1 Aren't we all so mannerly????
