Things Your Pets Say To You
June 30, 2020 at 5:34 pm
[inspired by BQ]
Pets have all sorts of ways to communicate with us - some vocal, some not. What do your pets tell you? From the cats (three, now) we get:
-I’d like to help you out, but I’m busy right now.
-Fuck off.
-Fuck off and die.
-You know you’re in my spot, right?
-I love you because I’m hungry at the moment.
-Gimme that, it’s MINE.
-Do your job and scratch my neck.
-Sorry - What part of that did you think was a request?
-Do we REALLY need the new cat?
-Come at me, bro. See what happens.

Chewy will actually tell you that you are a bad bird. She will also command you to c'mere and she will tell you "Chewy wants some" if she likes the looks/smell of what you are eating.
No reading of body language required...her command of the language is better than some of the forum members.

Where are the treats, bitch?

When I feed the Prince Charles Cavalier Spaniel, she starts to eat, and then turns to look at me. Hard to tell if it's "Thank you", or asking permission. I always say "Go ahead", in a soft voice. She got a pretty rigid upbringing- if a plate with leftover food is set down for her to eat, even if it is meat or cheese, she will not touch it. When I realized her aversion, I picked it up right away. It might have been cruel to leave it, if she has that much conflict. We believe she was in either a condo or an apartment with only people around to take her outside for excretion breaks. It took us months before we could get her to go through the dog door. And just about as long to get her to sit with us on the couch.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Keep that shit over there
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Briscoe was quite convincing yesterday that The King had left for work without feeding him. He thoroughly enjoyed his second breakfast.
Where are we going and why am I in this hand basket?

Thanks anyway for the huge bowl of whipped cream, but I don't think I can eat it all. (house guests looking forward to scones staring silently)
(cat sniffs 3 plates of food and walks off) I'll wait 5 minutes to see what else the suckers will give me!
I'll spray on his subwoofer, as a friendly reminder of who's house this is!
It's one in the morning, I better scream at them to make sure they haven't both died in their bed!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
