"Che, get your nose off the keyboard. Most of your closest relatives are right here, and those who aren't can't read anyway!" "Shut UP! You're not that cute!" (Said to puppy Becky, AKA The Mouth) "It's 500 degrees today and you have to drape yourself across my lap while I'm typing???" (Becky, again. It's a miracle I get anything done) "Dazz, keep your damn nose to yourself. Poking me in the butt... not funny!" "I HEARD that!" (said to Dazz, who knows I won't tolerate growling while I'm getting their dinner ready, so she has - almost - perfected a low gurgle instead) "Luna, if you're going to eat remote controls, please eat the ENTIRE remote so I can push your nose and pull on your ears to switch the channel or change the volume" (after her third remote control murder in six weeks - yes, I'm a slow learner) "Luna, keep eating my scrunchies and I'm going to use you to tie up my hair" (she actually climbed up in the chair behind me and stole one right out of my hair once. Oh, sure, she "recycles" them, but I'm not going there) "Che, the neighbor knows he's in his yard at 5 in the morning. I know he's in his yard at 5 in the morning. NOBODY ELSE CARES, so please SHUT UP" "Luna, normal puppy etiquette has it that you wait until I take my slippers of before you eat them" Anyone else talk to their dogs? Anyone else expecting the men in white coats with big butterfly nets to show up at any moment? I really, but REALLY need to get back to training.... Kristine |

| You crack me up!!! I have regular conversations with the dogs all the time. In the background you can hear dh "did you say something?". Drives him nuts  When the barking starts (Gar) I grab the squirt bottle, point it at him and tell him I'm locked and loaded....doesn't help. |
| I talk to my dogs all the time. lol Chuck will come up and say "what did you say?" and I'll tell him "I was talkint to the dogs." I sing songs to thema nd make up songs for them as I go along. Yes, lots of loony going on here..oh well, it's a dogs life. |
| My husband will call the dog "honey", "sweetheart", etc when he talks to him. Every once in a while I'll turn around and say so sweetly "what?". He doesn't know quite how to explain he was talking to the dog and not me....he looks pretty sheepish! |
| I talk to Ziggi all the time about everything. They are the best conversations because they don't talk back and I'm always right. |
I not only talk to my dogs...I have an entire cooking show with them when I cook dinner. They actually look at me like they are really listening...Hmmm...maybe I should get them their own set of pots so they can surprise me with dinner  |
| We talk to the dog and we also talk for the dog. If anyone was listening they'd think we're nuts but then maybe we are. |

| Oh yes, mine get talked to all the time. Mostly me, but Todd does too. One of my old bosses, who was a vet said this: "It's OK to talk to your dog, but when you start hearing the voices answer you, then we'll worry"...I always thought that was excellent advise! Many times Todd will say "what?", and I'll have to say, "oh, just talking to the dogs..."  Then there are the practical conversations...Like yesterday with Bond: "Bond, don't even think about jumping on Harley, he's too old." This may sound odd....  He's not really a jumping puppy at all...  But it was actually d/t to his location...    |

| Bond on the end table.......why does that not bother me? It is adorable. "Bond, since you are on the table, hand me the remote.....don't eat it first" would come from my mouth easily. Of course we talk to the dogs, me more than Paul. While I know the dogs understand very little......it's just the interaction they are interested in........Paul assumes they understand every word. Hard to explain to him they don't speak the language, they are listening for a few clue words and judging tone. |
Yes-conversations here all the time too! And if anyone was within "hear-shot" here  they would know that we are totally crazy as they DO talk back in their own 'voices'   |

| Yep,we talk to Sprocket all the time,well,you do talk to children don't you?How else do they learn? Sheepie families are the madest,happiest ones 'cos of the sheepies!x |

But it was actually d/t to his location... That is funny Dawn, because one of the things I have to say alot to China is "get off your sister." She likes to get the play starting with her getting on the front of Asia with her paws. Asia is 4 inches taller then China... |
| thanks kristine, thoroughly enjoyable,i just might be certifiable as i give voice to my wildlife menagerie and nobody ever complains. they always return for more comedy. |
| We should get up and running an oes.org insane asylum Talking with dogs, NORMAL, well as far as I am concerned  I often at home get "Were you talk'n to me, Nah the dogs" Trouble is also, baby talk to them, my neighbours think I am the MAD dog women living next door.  Ya want to twinkle Come on Poopie time Din Dins Heck I am ready to be admitted   Hey at least you can talk to them and I am sure they are listening and dont talk back Way better then kids in there 20's plus Even though I am 21 plus go figure the maths there |
Hah, you have Tiggy 2!!!  Tiggy ate mostly expensive mobile phones. She NEVER ate all of them just chewed bits off and rendered them inoperable. Although if you wear spectacles you could be in trouble, Tiggy ate 5 pairs of Wayne's prescription spectacles between about 6 and 18 months of age. VERY expensive!! And you think you are a slow learner. I always maintained that if Tiggy would just eat the whole phone I'd be able to find her in the dark by calling the phone and listening for my ring tone. |
| All the time here. You'd think by now Annie would finally understand that if "you didn't curl up on the grooming table we'd be done in1/2 the time"! Almost 2 years of saying that weekly.....she's either incredibly slow or much smarter than me (for saying it for almost 104 weeks straight! ). Jim always says he should have a tape recorder going when I bathe the dogs. Says he could sell them as comedy routines & have made a million $$ by now. Happy to know I'm in good company. |
| I never leave the house without Chauncey unless I say "I'll be back in a few mins". When I get back he get's a " hi babe". ( it took a few times of Bob being with me to figure out it was Chaunce I was referring to???). I've had some of the most heartfelt talks with Chauncey and Jake ( our OTB lab ), and worked through many issues with their attentive listening skills. They were never quick to interupt, give an opinion or judge. I've worked through several issues with their help. |
| I talk to Carley all of the time. I tell her not to eat the cats. She also talks to me. Everyone laughs but when she wants something she doesn't bark she makes noises that sound like she is talking. People don't believe it until they hear her. It almost sounds like she is grumbling about something. I always talk to her on the grooming table. She only wants to let me groom one side and we always have the discussion of why she needs to turn over. I also talk about my day with her. She is a great listener most of the time.
