      Should there also be a button option for "profuse thanks" or even "we are not worthy"?

      I prefer saying "thank you" only because I feel it's good manners instead of pressing a button.

      Great News, our current dog is a Poodle/Cocker spaniel cross, we have previously had pure poodles, which I considered to by veery intelligent, but this one (Tilly) who was a rescue dog is brilliant!

      Cockerpoo's are as mad and fun. Both of ours are rescues too.
