The strangest thing you've said to your dog...

:lol-sign: that's a good one! I'm surprised I haven't said anything like that!
I work at a day care, so its not unusual for me to say phrases to the dogs that I would say to the children, like; "Use your inside voice", "put your listening ears on", "keep your hands [paws, teeth, etc] to yourself", "teeth are for chewing"(not biting), and the one am constantly harping on Maddie for "clean up your toys!" and "you do not need to bring (insert name of toy here) to bed with you..."
Probably the one that I'll never hear the end of is "Missy, if you touch that you're grounded!"
Yea, I know. I was on the phone when I let it slip, so naturally everyone knows about it now. . .
But for the record, that threat worked. She didn't touch my food.
And I have "grounded" her before (implemented stricter NILIF practices LOL) works every time . . . heh heh

I had a box of cereal that they made for the Polar Express movie... it was like cheerios with shaped marshmallows in it. Happy came up to me and was looking/sniffing at the box on the desk, so I took the box off and showed it to him.
Well, I was telling him what it was, and turned the box around to show him all the marshmallow shapes that were in it. This isn't unusual, because I carry on conversations with the dogs all the time.
What WAS unusual was when I showed him, "And this marshmallow is shaped like a train. See? *drags finger along word* Tr-aaaa-in."
And then I realized that I can neither teach Happy to read, nor to sound out words.

Hummm... I have said some stuff to Kona before..
When we were potty training her, she she squatted in the floor, and I went to "No!" her out of it. When she stopped, I picked her up, went towards the bathroom, opened the door up, pointed to the toliet and said "No Kona, see that, it is a toliet. That is where you need to go pee and poop!".
That's what you get when your potty training your dog AND your 2 year old!
I constantly carry on a conversation with Kona... and sometimes she talks back :lol-sign:

I was cooking dinner tonight and a piece of ground beef fell on the floor by Zoe. She was looking at it and I immediately I said, blow on it...Then it hit me that I was talking to my dog and not my son. I'm starting to think I'm loosing it in my old age.

I find myself rambling on to the dogs about daily things..........In the morning before I leave for work I catch myself explaining that "Mommy may not be home right at 5, I have to swing by the store and pick up some food" or similar explanations.
As if they understand a clock or the store
to them I am sure it sounds like "Mommy....blah blah blah blah blah FOOD" :lol-sign:
I prattle all day I love some of what people here have said though.
Instead I'm the genius that talks to my little skiers like they are dogs. 'Uh uh uh' Other instructors stare... "And you taught that boy to do what? Oh that's the no we don't do that sound... Does he know that? He should.. My dog does...
