Walkies and talkies

[cyber-sibes]

Of course, who else would I be talking to?

[BC_MoM]

Wow, I can't imagine not talking to my dogs! lol

[HorseDreamer101]

I always talk to my dog Lad and Max about evertything and the best part is them can never tell anyone eles

[JenBKR]

Of course I talk to Roscoe during walks. And yes he understand me. I guess that makes us both nuts

[Freedom]

Yup, I do talk to them. Chatter and commands and "look at the squirrel" and all sorts of stuff. They understand me I know that They ignore all the commands and chase the squirrel.

[Jadapit]

Oh yes, I talk to my dogs when we walk, I talk to them at the ball field, I talk to them at home. I wonder if they ever get tired of hearing me talk?

I often wonder what people are thinking when I'm walking the dogs and they see me talking. Lol.

Guilty, as suspected!

I (usually) try to tone down the idle chit-chat with the FurKids if I see someone
approaching us on a hike ... but there's times when "we're" having such an enlightening
"conversation" that I miss seeing an approaching 2-Legger ... Oooopsie!

I've been given "The LOOK" when we're out & about in da Bus, too.
Drivin along, *YAPPIN* my fool head off, with a Dawg Head or two or three
poking up behind me ... "OMG! Who's that nut-case TALKING to!?"

I'm considering getting an In-your-Ear cell phone headset ... not to really USE with the phone;
but to wear when I'm with the Dawgs ...
If caught *YAPPIN* to "no one in sight" ~~~ I'll just point to the headset!

Of course I talk to my dogs! I talk to them at home, in the car and on our walks. They are great listeners and understand me well

[luvofallhorses]

all the time and my kitties, too!

[Whisk_Luva]

When I go out and walk or bump into my mums friends dog Lucy I always speak to her

[luvofallhorses]

also a lot of the dogs at the shelter where I volunteer LOVE to be talked to and I talk to them all the time. I even talk to the ones who could care less what you're saying.

[nancyweNW]

I'm ALWAYS talking to my dog.

[chocolatepuppy]

Always talking to the dogs and kittys, I even talk to my fish.

[IRescue452]

Well, not actual conversation, but phrases she knows like...
"Ok" or "let's go"- trying to get her to walk faster
"heel"- usually when around a crowd
"slow down"- my feet hurt darnnit
"place"- point at anybody you see
"who's that?"- getting her to be watchful of somebody nearby
"aren't you forgetting something"- if she forgets to sit at the corner
"go see"- means we are stopping at a familiar dog friend's house
"where"- Autumn's choice which way to go
"leave it"- eww whatever that is it's dead

and many many more. Usually I'm going on the whole walk.

All the time. They usually understand, too, unless I start to discuss quantum physics.
