The family dog comes down to me during the day when DD and SIL are at work.
I collect DGS from school at 15.15pm and I open the doors to the garden a little in case of wee accidents.
I have just had a long chat with the dog about the time, he is pushing my shoes towards me and wanting the door open.
Last night one of the Cats was here, I was on an important international Zoom call and she started knocking DGS Lego stuff from his Advent calendar on the floor.
I texted DD to come and get her at the same time as telling her to behave. I was on mute but was being asked if I wanted to speak.
Felt a bit bonkers, and got very strange looks from people who do not know me.
Am I alone in this, or just going bonkers ???????

On a holiday in a hot country a large lizard crawled out from under a rock near me and I said ‘hello poppet’. Now that is madness surely!!

Did he stick his tongue out at you when you spoke to him Juliet27?

My dog understands a lot of words. So I have quite a lot of conversation with him.

Hello all, I'm new here, this is my first post.
But.... I talk to my pets (degus,) my plants, the garden birds, back to the radio (I don't have tv,) the slugs I regularly kick out of my flat, I could go on, it's a fairly long list.

Welcome Savvy good to hear from you , I hate slugs as well. We have horrible big orange ones here in France.

Thanks for the welcome.

I swear I keep throwing the same slugs out every night!

I say hello to all the dogs I meet on my walk. I just hope none of them answer me!
