Your dog loves you. Your dog will not judge you as we begin learning the pronunciation of modern Scottish Gaelic. It's... exactly as its spelled... but... not quite intuitive. We will practice on such useful phrases as "lunch time," "bed time," and "don't eat that." We will laugh! We will play games! We will share dog pictures! Cats and their people are absolutely welcome as well!
