Do you have conversations with your dogs?

[dukedogsmom]

All the time! Mostly telling him what a good dog he is. Sometimes telling him to stay out of the kitty treat bowl

Cute thread, Bre. I talk to my dog all of the time. A lot of it is explaining to her what is going to happen that day and what to expect, sometimes it is just telling her how special she is.

All the time telling them how clever they are and how they are such wonderful furkidz and just chat in general like when John's mam broke her hip I gave out stink about the way things had gone so they sat and listened and they love when I read they will sit beside me and let me read to them which is cute they rest their heads on my knee and get comfy and listen to a story.

An no I am not nuts or a loner just like to chat thats all

This is a trick question right??? I think people must have something wrong with them if they don't hold conversations with their dogs!! My Dukey and I have had some of the deepest conversations, I know I can tell him anything in the world and my secrets are always safe with him. He just looks at me with those big dark brown eyes and I can see he understands every single word I am saying. Sometimes he will even express his opinion about the matter and give lots of kisses when needed. But he also has a smart mouth side and will talk back. He does not like to be told that he is stinky and needs a bath or that he has bad gas He grumbles and growls and makes all kinds of fuss. Here are pictures of two conversations we have had....
In this one he was telling me that I should be done working by now, and if I am not what was I doing playing with the camera?

This one he was telling me that it was all Champs fault, he tried to tell her that they were not allowed to do that but she just did not listen and he does not understand why she cannot be a good doggy like him.

I also remind them all daily how much they are love, but my Duke has a very special place in my heart so he gets told all the time how handsome he is, how he is Mommy's bestest boy ever and that there will never ever be another baby like him. But of course he already knows that.

I talk to Fenway all of the time. I tell him my dreams and my wishes. I tell him about my day and my plans for the next the day. I tell him what we're doing for the weekend. I tell him about my worries and sadness and I tell him about my happiness and joy. He's my best friend in the whole world. And doesn't everybody share everything with their best friend?

[Suki Wingy]

yup, I do the same thing.

oh yeah, i talk to all of the furries. when i come in , i always ask how their day was, did the squirrels come by, since i'm home now, they're off security duty. when i walk with them, we 'chat' about the neighbor yards, LEAVE IT, and the conversations go on off and on all day. peanut is more vocal then alex,and it makes me smile, her arrooos are very hound like vocalizations. mojo is a very verbal cat. lots of conversation goes on here .

Of course I talk to them. Sadie will sometimes talk back to me. She is more vocal than Maggie or Grant. I sing to Sadie as well.

Oh absolutely I sure do talk to Reilly and Bei-jing, I just talk about anything and everything to them and they sit there and just listen and sometimes they talk back in different tones. Reilly loves for me to say c'mon come help mommy in the kitchen and he stops whatever he is doing and he comes and stays in there while I am doing whatever in there.
