I frequently say to myself that I devote more time talking to someone who does not answer than I do to people who talk back.... but I do spend most of my day with her- ..... so i guess it is better than being silent all day.
Layla, like Marcel, LOVES when you acknowledge what she has in her mouth- so we talk about her mousie or her bone (she is asking for a treat).
I ask her if she needs a nap, or has to go out. We talk abotu the weather or wathever it is I am doing....
I FREQUENTLY just say Hi to her- "hi muffin girl" "Hi bunny" and she gets SO excited when I do that- her tail goes- she gives me her bum and then she runs to get on a chair or a couch so she can get loved up.
