Talk like a pirate dog.

[RICHARD]

My friend Tucker, the Labradoodle, has a unique gift.

He is fluent in an 'offshore' language.

He can talk like a pirate dog.

-------------------------

At least once a day I call him over to the chair were I sit and give him some loving.......I scratch and pat his haunches and he gets to the point where he makes this ARRRGGGHHHH sound.

I laugh and keep going until he starts to bark.

This is NOT A GOOD THING because my roomie has trained him to bark and do a clockwise 'Happy Dance' to alert her to the fact that he has to go out to pee/poop.

I have to stifle myself, I don't do it to provoke either one, but sometimes our horseplay does excite Tucker to the point where he has to go out.

I do have fun making him Talk Like A Pirate, it's a really special and unique talent he has and sometimes I wonder if his last name isn't Sparrow....;)

He sounds like a nice dog. Maybe he should have an eye patch. :D

Tucker is a smart dog.

I have taught him to answer simple questions like..."What is the consonant sound my name starts with?"

I give him some scritches and he immediately answers, "R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r"

He also knows the name of the tiles that cover the house....."ROOF!":D

RICHARD, did you "just happened to" post this the day before International Talk Like a Pirate Day" (Sept 19, every year)???? I remember one year we had a "Talk Like a Pirate Day" at Thursdays... but that was quite a few years ago. If you were just checking to see if anyone remembered consider me checked in (but then several people think I should have been "checked in" years ago :rolleyes::o ARRGH MATEY :D
