We're never going on a dog walk together.

Some of the shit I say to Peanut would get me institutionalised if normal people heard it. She also wields tremendous power; her favourite trick is to just bat whatever is in my hand out of the way so she can sit in my lap. Phone or TV remote, not so bad. Cup of tea, bit more perilous. For both of us.

The only 'normal' people are those who like animals and would understand the weird one way conversations! 😄 My daughter stayed at a hotel a few weeks ago and had her dog with her. The lady who was on reception duty made a big fuss of her dog and said that all the people who stayed with dogs were lovely, and the ones that didn't have dogs were "fucking horrible!" 😂 Given that this lady was not in the first flush of youth made her outburst all the more suprising and did make us chuckle!!

Hahaha that's hilarious! I wonder what she thinks about cats. Don't suppose very many people take their cats on holiday with them!

We live in Cornwall and a few weeks ago after walking the dog on the beach, bumped into a lady with a pet buggy. She had a dog and a cat in there and told us she was on a camping holiday with them! 😂

To the tune of The Wombles, "Undergrowth, overgrowth, sniffing around, chasing the squirrels and having a poo. Humping the Staffies and stealing the ham, shaking the shaky shake, when I get home".

This was a favourite with a previous dog. He died five years ago and the theme to The Wombles still makes me well up.

I trust no dog owner who can't relate!

Haha very good! I like to make my own original tunes. They sound like a cross between a 70s kids tv theme tune and, erm, Pink Floyd?

Hahaha fun read. Dogs are the best and they are the best form of mind control. It may actually be more peaceful being mind controlled by a dog tbh!

It definitely gives you a sense of purpose, anyway!

Hang on… you switch roles and hold on to the squeaky duck with your teeth?! I might give you an "ahem" if I witnessed that, to be fair!
