Do you talk to your dog?

Indeed I do talk to my dog. He's a quality creature and communicates back. Mostly when he wants a treat and a walk.

I really hope things are OK BF - I know the feeling and it isn't something I'd wish on anyone.
Try to stay positive, keep the music playing and live for the day - it's really all we can do!
Take care.

Dogs are great companions as they have such a laid back attitude. Zoo's use them as company for all sorts of animals from bears to big cats. Their attitude rubs off on othe animals and keeps them calm and happy.

It's no coincidence they are the worlds favourite pets. Loosing any pet is tough, I even get upset when one of my fish is poorly and dies. We have a garden full of carcases of well loved pets from over the years.

I’m always chatting away to my two mutts. Alfie was acquired from the car and dog shelter 9 years ago and is coming up 14 now and he follows me everywhere and has the loveliest nature. He’s a scruffy git mind and spends hours of each day licking his backside then trying to kiss me afterwards and to his credit is never put off when I tell him to feck off.

My other dog is Labrador / Springer cross though she looks and acts more like a springer. She’s a bit nuts but lovely with it and it constantly smacking her tail off anything and everything she walks by. She also has a bizarre dislike of sneezes and runs a mile when it happens. Poor lass doesn’t know what to do with herself this time of year when my hay fever is kicking in 😁

She is probably just conscienscious of social distancing. Does she jump when she sneezes too? Our cat hates the air freshnerr that occasionally hisses and craps herself if their is a knock on the door or a doorbell rings, even on the telly. I can only assume she has a chequered past and is half expecting the rozzers to turn up

She died 3 years back but sometimes seems to be around when you glance back from the kitchen and she's on her way for a snack, I have almost thrown something for her before realising...

Yeah, I often think I see Rosie trying to nick a treat. She died a couple of years ago too. She used to fart then look around in total innocence.

The funniest thing is when they're asleep and fart so loudly that they wake themselves up and then they look at you all accusingly as if it was you who did it. Cheeky blighters.

That's one handsome fella. He's got a similar beard to the one that I've got going on at the moment and he wears his well too. Mine is more of a work in progress and I'm still not sure if it really suits me but you have to try these things, don't you?

Ingleby Flash made that joke on another thread a week or two or ago Laughing but as I pointed out to him then I've got a proper unkempt Brian Blessed lockdown beard at the moment but I shaved my hair with the clippers the other day and now it looks I'm wearing my head upside down. I'll never be as handsome as dooderooni's dog though, facial hair or no facial hair. I accept that. That's just one of the many perils and pitfalls of being a bum faced man. I wouldn't wish it on anyone but you can only play the cards that you're dealt in life and I'm happy enough with my lot most of the time.

Good man, I can't really relate as I am devestatingly handsome, but I can imagine... sort off ;)
 
The two we have now I talk to all the time because they are the only ones who believe my every word. Everyone else seems to need someone else to tell them what I've been saying for years before they give me any credit. I sing to them as well - I'm a terrible singer but they don't judge - or at least they just suffer in silence.
 
I talk to mine all the time, he speaks back quite regularly. Came down the stairs about an hour ago and he did a big stretch and said hello 😂
 
yes I definitely do.
had a few dogs before and they’ve always understood walkies and dinner.

but this one I’ve got now is phenomenal. Sure he tries to say out and want one. His understanding of words is mesmerising. I don’t just tell him walkies, I tell him which route. Rock around the block is short walk with music on but if I say rivers and park he takes that route, we’ve more routes than that I reckon he knows half a dozen. But if you say chicken dinner and give him beef he goes on hunger strike 😂. If you tell him back in half hour and take half a day he sulks, if you say half a day and be half a day he’s sound with that and pleased to see you.
