If Your Dog Could Talk...

[raineth]

Ziggy reminds me of Mr Collins from "Pride and Prejudice"...

"Believe me, my dear Miss Elizabeth that your modesty, so far from doing you any disservice, rather adds to your other perfections. You would have been less amiable in my eyes had there not been this little unwillingness; but allow me to assure you that I have your respected mother's permission for this address. You can hardly doubt the purport of my discourse, however your natural delicacy may lead you to dissemble; my attentions have been too marked to be mistaken. Almost as soon as I entered the house I singled you out as the companion of my future life......I am not now to learn...that it is usual with young ladies to reject the addresses of the man whom they secretly mean to accept, when he first applies for their favour; and that sometimes the refusal is repeated a second or even a third time. I am therefore by no means discouraged by what you have just said, and shall hope to lead you to the altar ere long......... As I must therefore conclude that you are not serious in your rejection of me, I shall chuse to attribute it to your wish of increasing my love by suspense, according to the usual practice of elegant females."

Oh No Ziggy! Not Mr.Collins!!!!

Heh heh. Although Em's breeder doesn't think she's exactly an "elegant female" lol

haha, Maybe Em is more like Lydia than Lizzy?

Now that I think about it, Delta might be a Lydia, and I'm trying to make her more like Jane :laugh:

I think Stussy would sound like Phoebe Buffay from Friends - all love and fluff! I think Tempeh would be Sabrina the Teenage Witch - the world revolves all around her 'issues'. Wolf would be some kind of tall, scary headmistress type with an imposing voice.

I love Phoebe...smelly cat, smelly cat :laugh: I always thought Stan had a bit of Joey in him, "whatcoo doin' ;)" he knows he's good looking but he aint the brightest star in the sky :laugh:

Well I can't really contribute to this one! Now that I have two cochlear implants I am actually aware when the cats or dogs vocalise without watching them, but I am very slack about putting the processors on until I leave the house.

Slightly OT, but I will say that prior to my first cochlear implant I was very proud that I had taught my foster failure pug, Cheddar, to speak on command.

Alas, after implantation and bringing the bionics finally on line, the truth was revealed.

Cheddar had learned to open and close his mouth like a goldfish on the command "Speak" .

Sigh. I have since retrained him, but his bark on command is not exactly crisp, due to my stuff-up.

Hoping not to offend but this gave me a good giggle!
