And reason # 2 not to talk to yourself...

[Bygonelines]

Do not talk to yourself. It is not safe! LOL! If you have a smart dog it can be downright expensive and dangerous.

This morning about 8 am I was talking to myself and said a hamburger sounds good. Well I was working and couldn't go get it so I forgot about it. Unfortunately/Fortunately Willow (a.k.a. Miss Big Ears, Miss Chow hound extrordinaire, my service dog) who was snoring at the time not only heard me say the hamburger sounded good (she immediately woke up and looked at me) but she rembered 4 hours later when I got my lunch break. I said, Lunchtime! Well, she took off like a shot, went tearingdown the hallway and actually ran into the mudroom door trying to get to the car. I hobbled out to her and said what are you doing and she proceede to dog to me and tell me I had to go get us hamburgers because Ihad promised her one (I did no such thing!). When I told her no she looked like I had beaten her to death, took away her best friend and had been abusing her her whole life. Welllong story short the hamburger still soundedgood so I gave in and we went to McD's for a burger.

Never talk to yourself whent he dog is near! They will guilt you into doing whatever it is you were talking about that they want to do!

LOL. It was too funny.

Just glad I didn't say I wanted to take an expensive class or send her to the dog sitter (she loves hime because she gets to walk for hours every day and play with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, ducks, and rabbits.)

Oh my good thing I don't have a dog 🐶 I talk to my self all the time. Actually I also talk with my mom. That wouldn't be a good thing since she past away 25 years ago , what would happen with that LOL I am not a crazy person but sometimes don't look 👀 at me like that I am sure you all talk to your self to

I have a few neighbors when I do go out and have my lunch there dogs start barking I ask them to stop barking and they will stop one of these dogs is a Rottweiler, usually a person is walkin by and they can't believe the dog listens to me Bygoneslines I hope you don't talk in your sleep 😂 LOL

[Bygonelines in reply to ssdw1958]

I don't talk in my sleep. I just snore. When I start snoring too much Willow tries to push me out of bed! LOL!

OMG you two have given me such a big smile and my sides are aching from laughing because of your posts. Good thing I no longer have a dog. They are so smart and listen more then you think.

And a hamburger does sound good.

Yes these pets get spoiled just to much. Our dog is so spoiled that when she goes out to do her business she will only do it on the sidewalk to keep from getting her paws dirty. Lol. Now is that spoiled or is that spoiled. Lol.

[jennie62 in reply to Doubled51]

Should be called a "Shih Tzu on the Sidewalk". LOL! Love it!

[ssdw1958 in reply to jennie62]

I have to tell you something my PC

Dr.s name is Shih

No kidding LOL

So be are careful you don't say that too loud

But I can not take it when people let there dogs do that I live on the corner with no sidewalks and there was this one person who let her dog do his business right as you would walk into my driveway where my kids would ride there bikes 🚴🏽 I don't need to say anything else and do you know where we would store there bikes in the cellar.

Sorry about ranting. So I do know what you are saying.

[jennie62 in reply to ssdw1958]

I'd take the dog dropping back into the other person's driveway and let them "step" in it. LOL

[ssdw1958 in reply to jennie62]

If I knew who it was I would have you see I believe they did it late at night or early in the morning. My children are older know only if I had a big dog I would have had him out there to give him a welcoming if you know what I mean. Nothing to hurt anyone but a good scare.

[Doubled51 in reply to jennie62]

jennie62 that one cracks me up. Lol.but that's not exactly what I say when I find a pile or puddle on my front walkway. More like a 4 legged hemorrhoid. I won't even admit what I call her when it's stepped in and tracked in the house. Lol.

Donnie

[jennie62 in reply to Doubled51]

Doubled51

Hahahaha! Four legged hemorrhoid! I know some of the names I said in in my head, LOL!

[kdali]

That's hilarious!!!!!

[WAshingtongirl]

😂 When I ask my husband why he didn't answer me, he says, "I didn't know I was supposed to be listening. I thought you were talking to yourself or the dog. You're always talking to yourself." We haven't had a dog for 5 years...💕

[jennie62 in reply to WAshingtongirl]

LOL!

[Bygonelines in reply to WAshingtongirl]

My husband says the same thing! LOL.

[jackiesj]

[jackiesj]

[rlh1974]

[1180Hope]
