I am wondering whether all of my dog's representations are singular and immediate, or whether she also has some general, mediate representations.

She seems to understand some commands with direct objects, like "Find Rob." She also seems to understand when I'm out of the apartment and my husband says "Rob soon." (She sits by the door.) But maybe she's just following our facial cues.

I tried to explain vaccines today, but I don't think she followed.
