Walkies and talkies

[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.

I'm ALWAYS talking to my dog.

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

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.

Oh, only all the time.

Yes, I talk to my dogs on walks and in the house. I frequently ask them questions too. Somehow the answers come subliminally. I'm also inclined to talk with any dog I meet up with. I must be too old to care if their person thinks it odd.
