What do you talk about? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

OH yeah...I talk to my kidz all the time. I don't want to leave them in the dark about what's going on in their world...that would be just rude!

ReesiesDad · 01-08-2010, 02:38 PM

I only have one Yorkie but her and the Border Collie are always watching me. I just taught them how to make raised panel Oak doors, and the big project this month was making the fireplace mantel. I'd explain everything to them and I know they aren't listening when their eyes close...

ritzydaisy · 01-08-2010, 08:48 PM

I talk to Daisy like that all the time, too. You do that with skin babies, so why not your furpup? That's how they learn new words. You want your Yorkie to be smart, don't ya??

Darlene68 · 01-08-2010, 08:57 PM

Oh yeah! I talk to Bailey all the time like that, lol! When I'm over to my BF's I will be yammering away to Bailey or his two dogs, My bf will be in another room and think I'm talking to him

..

Mom to Hot Rod · 01-08-2010, 09:07 PM

well, since I don't have any skin kids and hubby works all the time, I tend to talk to my babies too.

Even if they don't understand me, it's nice that at least they give me the head tilt and I just bust out laughing.

JasmineNoelle · 01-08-2010, 09:17 PM

I talk to my girls all the time. They always know when I ask them if they want to go outside or if they want a treat or go for a ride so, I figure they pretty much know what else I am saying. They are always with me. I understand them and they understand me.

orlnurse · 01-08-2010, 09:21 PM

Ok..so we are all wackadoos.

I say to Max, "Momma loves her boy, or let's go upstairs, Momma's cold, or Momma has to go to work, I love you...just about everything! I also ask him to bring me the remote but he won't do it..

Yep. My wife and daughters don't understand what it's like to spend all day long without a real person to talk to. They just say 'We're worried about you, Dad'. LOL!!

noisinka · 01-09-2010, 06:04 AM

So... I'm normal then!! *lol*

I talk to Sandy all the time. 'Mommy's going to work now. Be a good boy... See you later today!' I tell him, 'Mommy loves you' every night before I go to bed. Haha...

My man always asks me, 'What are you talking about? You talk so much!'

ladyjane · 01-09-2010, 06:24 AM

Bonbon, yes you are crazy, but it beats being insane. At least that is what I tell myself.

Noisika, don't take this too far....no one said we are all normal.

OK...my take: Talking to my yorkies beats talking to a human who just might talk back. I say you cannot beat this unconditional love. I can say anything and they just adore me .. and agree with me, too.

cj125 · 01-09-2010, 07:22 AM

Not only do we talk to our 2 but they talk to us! Mia is far more verbal than Max but he does have a few little sounds that he makes.

Mia will come in tell us that she thinks there's cat outside - that means she wants us to lift her up and let her look down the fence line to see if the cat is hiding in the trees. She really has quite a few sounds that she makes but they're mostly letting us know about the cats. Of course, this is her primary concern it the world.

They also tell us when they want a drink of water. We keep a big mug of ice water on our nightstands that they like to drink out of.

They are definately our "grandchildren".

You too, Connie? That big glass of water taste so much better than the water in their water jug (and ice is very important)!

Speaking of ice, a couple of mine stand by my refrigerator when I get ice and wait for pieces to drop! Of course, I make sure they get their special little healthy treats!

cj125 · 01-09-2010, 07:35 AM

LOL! I know. We have a nice set of ceramic bowls in the bedroom but Mia will insist on having it out of the mug. Max, bless his heart, will use the bowl if he thinks we're sleeping.

cj125 · 01-09-2010, 07:37 AM

Max likes the ice but Mia just picks it up and throws it!
