blah blah

A friend of Lynettea's was telling her this story and they both thought it was very funny, so she thought she would tell it to me.
There was this dog called Fred and his human thought he could talk to Fred, because Fred was so intelligent and understanding, particularly of the human's problems.
So the human said to Fred, 'You are a good and faithful dog, Fred. I want you to look after the house for me Fred and when I come back, Fred, I will give you your favourite supper, Fred. And then we will go to the park, Fred and you can have a run. If it is warm tomorrow, Fred, we might go to the beach with my friend.
You like her, don't you, Fred.'
At this point Fred wagged his tail, as he had done at various points in the narrative.
The human said to his friend at the office, 'Fred understands everything I say. He is really looking forward to meeting you!'
At home, Fred ran around the yard wagging his tail. He knew his human was pleased with him. He had said so a number of times.
Here is how Fred heard the conversation: 'blah blah blah blah blah blah Fred blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Fred blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Fred blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Fred .....'
I said to Lynettea, 'A good thing cats are not like that!' and she patted me on the head.
'I am pretty sure she understood me.

You may be right, Sasha, about her understanding you... or maybe she is just hearing, "Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow...."
