Do you talk to your dog?

Thanks TC - first night has gone fantastically well, he's a real character and slept all night! Apart from a few accidents with his toilet habits, he's been perfect so far and even then we expected it might take a few weeks to get him fully toilet trained.

Needless to say he's won our hearts!
 
Had my Westie for 8 years, since he was a pup. Lazy, incredibly stubborn, disobedient (unless bribed) and still occasionally peeing in the hallway. However, he is also clever, funny and wonderful. Love him to bits. Should add that I talk to him a lot, a real lot, he has kept me sane on several occasions with his sage advice and use of common sense.

I saw a farside cartoon yesterday.

A dog in a car passes by a dog in a garden. The dog in the car says.. Hahaha I am off to the chemist then popping to the vets for a tutoring.

The hedgehogs got a family of his own and settled down after I laid the law down to him. Mrs hodgeheg is lovely and always approachable.

The Hodgeheg - Dick King-Smith

Max is a hedgehog who lives with his family in a nice little home, but it’s on the wrong side of the road from the Park where there’s a beautiful lily pond and plenty of juicy slugs, worms and snails! The busy road is dangerous but Max is determined to make his way across. If […]

Oddly enough the female hedgehog is much more approachable than the beer swilling fat bloke she calls hubby.

Do you feed yours?
 
No, we are away a long time and don’t want them to become reliant. I have a decent sized garden and don’t use anything for slugs or snails. The plants take a battering but the hedgehogs are thriving due to this.

Ours barely touch slugs, in fact they will nudge slugs our of the biscuit bowl to eat.

We just came back from a break and we get a pet sitter to feed the hogs. I kid you not.
 
Mines been gone for about 6 years. I used to talk to him all the time, tell him all sorts of stuff. He’d sit there rapt, really listen to me. Every now and then he lick my face, more often my ears.
He almost had a sixth sense, he had a different relationship with each of us, my missus was his mam, my daughter someone he loved and protected, I was his gaffer, the one he sought approval from, I liked talking to him, I’m positive he understood me. If he’d answered me one day, I don’t think I’d have been surprised, I know that sounds nuts. I bet most people talk to their dog.
I knew a lad who said him and his dog used to listen to music together and he swore his dog had favourite songs, I think that’s true.

I'm not going to whore my dog out to the media mate. I couldn't do that to him. He's family. Times may be hard for all of us right now but I still have my principles.

Plus, you’ve got to be alive to the fact that the fame may change him. Celebrity dogs are right prima donnas, not as bad as superstar cats they are vvankers.
