Most of you who are animal owners and lovers realize that dogs and cats can speak (though not english nevertheless very easy to understand). In fact they can be as annoying as children when it comes to getting their point across or what they want. The problem is they don't stop until they get what they want! (ummmmmm...sound familiar?).
It's the weekend, leave me alone. (lick) No I mean it! Go lay down it's not time to get up yet! (whine, lick, pace). O.K, O.k...I'm coming I'm getting up. Happy now! (bouncing around the room, tail wagging, yepping and barking). You got your way!
Eyes staring intent. No, you have a whole hour before breakfast yet, you are not starving you can wait! (following you, up your butt at every turn you make). I said it is not time for breakfast yet you can wait. (I'm hungry now! Feed me now!) Watching your every move, (Is she going to feed me, We see our bowls come out she's getting it ready. Oh yeah, it's BREAKFAST TIME!) Acting like you haven't fed them for 2 days!
head cat. 6:00 in the morning I am hungry and I won't stop walking on you until you get up and give me my breakfast. I want it, and I want it now! The kick the cat off the bed is not an option for a close to 17 year old cat who has the means to get the job done when she want's something.
Catnip: There is never a safe place for it! They will hunt it down and find it! Keep it away from anything you don't want destroyed!

| Lingo sent in by other pet owners. |
I have a kitty who's almost 4 now-Ras and he has a lingo of his own. We have a night light in our bathroom to prevent injury to the kitty during a visit in the middle of the night,and if we go to bed with the night light off Ras sits in the hallway outside the bathroom and cries until someone--usually MOM lol--gets up and turns it on LOL. Another thing that amuses him (and me) is to follow me around while I open all the blinds and windows in the morning when it's nice enough to do it. He races me from one window to another waiting for me to open it. If I forget (LOL) to open a window in a certain order he sits in front of it and cries until I open it up. He wants them all open. Some days when I sleep in a little bit,he comes into the bedroom and puts his head noisily between 2 of the slats in the miniblinds :) just to let me know he's ready to look out. It took me a few months once we moved in here to get him to realize that I don't open the window in my puter room LOL. He forgets from time to time and gives me a little serenade about it,but sooner than later he gives up and jumps up on my lap or my keyboard to help me at the puter.
I have 2 toy poodles. My boy, Bastain, in the mornings, when I am trying to sleep, when he wants me up, he will start by yawning really big and making this really funny noise, then if that dont work, I feel him starting up the bed, he walks all the way up my body, laying his head right beside my head, so his left eye is even with my right eye, ( am sleeping on left side), if I still act like I am asleep, he starts wagging his tail, if I still pretend, he wags even harder, and sneezes ( LOL, yuck!) the he starts wiggling all over, so I make a small noise, acting like I am still asleep, and he starts wiggling harder, haha and puts his eye as close to mine as he can , when he does this I open my eye, and he just goes crazy! LOL he is so cute. Both of them take every step I take, as I walk their noses hit the back of my leg, Bastain on the left and Pumkin (My girl) on the right!! hehe, they are such cuties and such babies!!
I would like to tell you the silly thing that my dog, Lacy, does. Lacy is like all other dogs she doesn't like bathes right? Wrong she doesn't mind bathes if you do it with the hose. Lacy loves to chase the water and try to bite the water. Today I was out there for one hour just playing in the water with her. Well she was, anyway I was just getting the shaken water from off her body. Lacy likes to be in pools if the hose is there and our pool isn't just an ordinary pool, it's got a slide on it. She will go down it to get the hose. If I put the hose down on the ground for a minute, she will pick it up with her mouth and get herself water by carrying it around with her. So basically she is a hose doggy. Well I hoped you liked hearing about my weird but exciting dog,Lacy.
We once had two dogs.;one was an old cocker spaniel named Barnaby, and the Lhasa was Max who is now 8 yrs old. When we first got Max ,Barn would just sort of ignore the little pest, and occasionally put him in his rightful place. Max learned everything about "doghood" from Barn. Barn passed away two years ago and now Max is the top dog! He is very affectionate with our family. He hates squirrels and other dogs!. He will communicate with us when he wants something. He is very vocal. When he sneezes it means yes I want some now. He will moan when he talks, growl and moan when he gets irritated with us,and go crazy when we arrive back home from being gone for awhile. He sits on our window cill like a cat does and watches out for those darn squirrels and other dogs outside. When he sees one he gets all excited and wants to go out to get "them". So he barks and whines to go out and chase those guys away from his turf. One time we had a ham for dinner and the smell was just too much for him to do nothing. After dinner we were in the living room talking when we suddenly see that Max is eating some of the ham when we never gave him any yet. Upon closer inspection we suddenly realized that Max had climbed up on a kitchen chair and reached up and grabbed the whole leftover ham from the table into the dining room where he got caught red paw handed. Boy! did he get yelled at and sent to the basement for a time out. All we heard for a short time was him crying because he was down there all by himself and he hates to be all alone without his humans with him. We eventually let him back upstairs with us because we felt bad with him crying. Hopefully he has learned his lesson. This house is his turf, so we guess that the ham was on his turf and it was fair game! We love him a lot and we realize that he would never tolerate another dog because that would mean he would only get half of everything and he wants the whole encholetta!
I have an AKC large-boned black German Shepard and she has the HIGHEST pitched yelp at times!! If we, my husband or I, has been gone for very long she goes ballistic and just YELPS her pleasure that we're home. Although she's MY dog and obeys me the most, when my husband comes home, she's yelps loud enough to nearly break your ear drums. She hears his '63 Chevy Suburban about a mile away and sits in the living room until he pulls in front of the house. Then she runs to the back door and just kills those of us in the house with her yelping! She's the most talkative Shep I've ever had (out of several) and it's wild. At the moment she's only a year and five months old and I'm about to kill her for her chewing up things, but I love her to death .... her talkative-ness is only part of it, even though it hurts the ears!
I have 4 cats and they all have a language of their own! Colonal is the most verbal and Kitty just purrs alot. Golden is very shy. Scooter is unique, she follows me all over the house and loves to sit in my lap. She has several favorite toys and if I'm not paying attention to her she brings me one of the stuffed toys, talking the whole time she's carrying it to me! Then she sits there looking at me and yelling till I tell her what a good girl she is!!!
We have a Lhasa-Apso (Jo-Lee) going on 11 that is VERY expressive. She digs at her bowl or barks near it for fresh water,usually 2 or 3 times a day. She also has a look she gives when she is about to do something she knows she is not supposed to do-going in the house on her papers when we're home,stealing anything she can carry to exchange for food, or paper shredding-the look just says just try and stop me! and she does it. She is the most stubborn dog I've met. Totally untrainable-we've asked and kicked out of every groomer in the area. She is very smart but only willing to do what she wants when she wants-takes a lot of coaxing to get her to do anything.
