shmoo Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Haha these are good :laugh: A few nights ago I was having a conversation with my dog Sweep and I stopped when I realised what I was doing and my fiancé was in the room. I admitted to him that I used to talk outloud to them when I lived alone too. He gave me a look :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm just lucky "good job" and "good dog" sound really similar... And I've been known to yell "yes", "yes", "yes" - as well as "good job/dog" when someone does a good play on the hockey field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Oh but it's worse when something you are tugging (vaccum cleaner, suitcase on wheels etc) sticks slightly and you automatically command "Heel!" :rofl: My friend calls her dog's front legs his 'arms', I 'prune' everything from paper to hair. Crossover is fairly normal I think. My OH sometimes picks me up on using single word commands with him "Sit!" or "wait". Generally he answers with "woof" :laugh: Loving this thread, so funny! OH often retorts "Don't 'uh-uh me! I'm not the dog!", to which I often reply, "Bad dog! Down!" He's just lucky he isn't a mind reader... when we're holding hands I've often lamented to myself without realising that we're holding paws... Or I might offer around biscuits/chips/munchies and ask if anyone wants some kibble... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 OH often retorts "Don't 'uh-uh me! I'm not the dog!", to which I often reply, "Bad dog! Down!" Mr R asks every morning if there is any coffee, meaning will you make me a coffee. I'ver started telling him not to clicker train me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Break it down into little steps... first ask him to boil the kettle once he gets that down pat, ask him to boil the kettle, get the coffee out... once he gets that down pat, ask him to boil the kettle, get the coffee out and line up the mugs...

Double Lab Love Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I was so embarrased and then when i tried to explain it sounded even worse... More looks.... Then again - I think at times during the weekend that crate would have been mighty handy and NOT for the canine members of the party :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I think if you set up a crate in the room it would be hard to keep any child under the age of 6 out of it... I think we called them "cubbies" Edited May 18, 2012 by Mrs Rusty Bucket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boronia Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 When Sis in law bought her baby home from the hospital, I had to keep reminding myself he was zero weeks old, not eight and you have to be careful that you don't say that " Oh the baby's eyes are open already" .
