Talking to your dog...!

So does everyone talk to their dog or am I going loop de loop?!

I was lazing on the sofa with Moll recently telling her how pretty she was and explaining that some people might not think that and in fact would probably have some horrible stereotype, which was clearly not true. I went on to tell her that if anyone from this website could meet her they would truly appreciate her and love to say hi!

She didn't reply but I know she understood

PS Moll had another skin scrape recently and it was clear of mites!

Pleased to hear about the mites thats good news & yes I am forever talking to Moo, its when we are out and people look at me like I'm some sort of strange nutter

I talk to Dempsey all the time! He's the only one that understands me.

Great news on the mites also. I even talk to Vinnie when he is not even anywhere near me and when I am away from home now thats Loopy!

I talk to Logan all the time quite casually. Especially on walks, I think it can help can down a situation sometimes too if either me or him is anxious about a situation for example.

Def a good thing to do IMO

Pleased to hear the skin scrape was clear

I'm always talking to Rocky, people must think I'm completely bonkers, I dont care

I talk to Loki often about anything and similarly to Mat, I talk to Loki to kind of calm him down a bit in situations where he can go mad.

Haha i always talk to the boys!

I always talk to my girl, I also sing in weird voices which she seems to love she's probably just thinking shut up mom but whatever congrats on the great news about the mites too!

Great news about the skin scrape yes I talk to darcy all the time, especially to tell her how much I love her

I talk to them all the time. I'm sure when they make all their awesome staffy noises that they're talking back!

Moll only seems to make noises when she gets incredibly frustrated! For example when I make her sit before she is allowed to greet us when we go into the house or when we play fetch. Its one of the only times I've heard her bark, its like she can't contain herself lol and even then it will only be a single bark!

Of course when the two of them are outdoors playing the noise starts! Her beautiful staffy play grolws hehe!

I talk to everything. To lexi i usually tell her how she is the ugliest thing in the world and thats why i love her and i also tell her she is fat and roll her about the floor and she laughs. Yes, she really laughs, don't tell me otherwise!

To my budgies i usually tell the boy one that the girls are bitches and i dont know how he puts up with them and he tweets in agreement

My girl is the same, she only whines if she is a) on a chain (shes been on one for about 3 mins and i couldn't take it the soft git that i am) b) standing waiting for her mate willow to come out and walk or c) in the car waiting for willow. Only met willow about 3 times, but knows where she lives! She never used to whine in the car before no matter where i stopped lol

I'm always takin to mine, tellin Diesel that she's such a pretty girl an Leroy hes a gorgeous lad an they always give me kisses so i think they understand me hahaha
i also talk to them when im in the house as im potterin about an moan about my oh to them lol

i talk to sash all the time,she's my best friend ,great news on the skin mites

I'm constantly talking to Daisy, I think if she could tell me to shut up she would!
Great news on the clear scrape

ALL THE TIME!! We discuss everything! Wat to have for dinner, what time I will be home, who's coming to visit! How handsome he is, weather I'm happy or sad!! He is a FAB listener!!! Ad has no opinions either way on what ever I say!!! Lol

Glad the skin scrape was good. As for speaking to Ken, hell yeah, if im really loved up I'll even sing to him

Awww glad the skin scrape was clear.... I am always talking to Otis, I think he wishes I would button it sometimes

Great news on the skin scrape!
And yes all the time i tell alfie everything, he's good at keeping secrets too

I always talk to Cassie and she talks back to me,she sounds like a cross between Marge Simpson and a snore lol

Glad you got an all clear

I chit chat to Chiquito all the time! The neighbours laugh at me when I take him out to toilet and talk about the good places to pee and when we walk I am pretty sure people think I am a little loopy ... I think this may have something to do with me providing a running commentary of the sights and sounds to keep his attention

I talk to mines all the tell, silly things, I tell them who’s on the phone, or at the door or where I'm going when I leave!! It’s a habit now; I love a good sing and dance around the kitchen with them when I’m cooking as well!!

The only time they will speak back is if you say ... "Where's the flies?" .... they go daft, Frank grabs a towel and Tara does an odd deep low growl as if she's answering me!! lol

Very happy to read everybody's responses

I do miss my little ones (dogs not got children!) when I'm at work

Me too!

I talk to Doug ALL the time

I tell him he's handsome and my OH laughs when I say "Love you Douglas" he says it sounds like I'm taking to a child. I tell him where we're going for a walk, who we might be going with and what we are going to do at the weekend. I talk to him like a would a person in my house

I always talk to Barney! My mum laughs at me, and then later i hear her doing the same thing!

I do it all the time. Mrs takes the mick cos I call him big man

Yeah I am as bad and talk to Sookie.

As had been mentioned sometimes on a walk and other times just round the house.

Like all dogs she knows certain words but the one I like most is if you ask her 'Are you alright?' and she looks at you and wags her tail!

Also if I tell her things she doesn't want to do she barks at me!
