I’m not really a crazy dog lady… yet. I don’t carry on conversations with my dogs… on a daily basis. But there are somethings I say to them on a daily basis other than  Sit or Down kinda simple commands – complete sentences and questions I expect them to understand and sometimes expect answers. I get a little tired of being ignored and not getting answers, but I’m waiting for one of them to finally blurt out one of these days, “Oh shut up!”

The following is a list of thirteen of those things I say to my dogs:

1. Be careful! I blurt it out quite often because, you know, I don’t want them to get hurt, quite naturally.
2. What’s your problem? When somebody doesn’t stop barking after my “Enough” or “Quiet”, I have to resort to reasoning.
3. See, I told you! You never listen! Usually Brooklyn gets this mocking remark from me when she has to pee and poop under heavy rain after refusing to pee or poop because of wet grass or light rain in spite of my repeated warning of possible heavier rain in the near future.
4. What are you doing? Because you know, I sometimes get curious and don’t want to move to see what they are doing. I do expect an answer.
5. Get a room, will ya? Cause sometimes I think they should do certain activities in private.
6. What happened? I do like to know what happened when somebody suddenly cries out and whines. Wouldn’t you?
7. Where do you think you’re going? Come on, it’s funny when they bolt past you and then can’t go anywhere but wait for you walk slowly taking your sweet time to open the door or the baby gate for them.
8. Did you pee/poop? Sometimes I get distracted and don’t notice if one peed/pooped or not. I gotta know.
9. Where did you poop? When someone pulls of sneak-a-poo routine while I’m not looking. Again, I gotta know.
10. Did you just fart? I usually know who farted when, but you know there are silent but deadly kinds.
11. I’m coming, I’m coming. They get anxious and whine when I deliver their food one at a time to each location. I do have to assure them that they will not starve to death.
12. Where does it itch? Here? Here? It’s hard to see and do nothing when they try to scratch or nibble where they can’t reach.
13. I love you too but not THAT way. Foster tends to get too happy and excited to see me and be pat, and his red rocket gets launched sometimes. It’s my way of gently letting him down.
