Dear Ann Landers,
e have a 13-year-old rat terrier who says, I want out. I am not claiming she says anything except that one sen-tence. But she does say it very clearly and only when she wants to go out, so I believe she knows what it means. More than one guest has turned white as a sheet when he heard our dog speak. Please print this. Thanks. -Nuts for Dogs

Dear Ann,
Our dog, Heinz (57 varieties), says, "Howdy, partner," "Vas you dere, Cholly?" and "Goodnight, all." It all started when Heinz sneezed and my husband said: "Gesundheit." We almost fell over when the dog repeated after him, "Gesundheit." We have tried to teach Heinz to say other words, but for some mysterious reason, he re-fuses. I guess you can say we have a talking dog, too. -Covina, Calif.
