Ridiculous things I’ve caught myself saying to the dogs

January 27, 2012 Filed Under: Argo the wonder dog, STELLA

  • Do you like my singing?  Exactly!  Because it’s fabulous.
  • Don’t yell at me. It’s not my fault you fell off the bed.  
  • I don’t appreciate your tone, young lady.
  • I know what you’re trying to say, you’re trying to say it’s time for breakfast ’cause it’s breakfast time! Oooh! 
  • It’s my turn on the treadmill.  You already had your turn!
  • I’m stress eating.  Don’t judge me.
  • Yeah, well, I don’t get a treat every time I want one either.

    My dogs do NOT like my singing. They look at me judgmentally and then hide in another room whenever I sing in the house.

    I once had a cat that tried to climb into my hair every time I played the violin.

    I am a SAHM with my little girl and our Great Dane/Lab Mix. I talk to him all the time because he’s the only interaction I get! He judges me sometimes, I can tell. He gives me these looks like, “Alright, you know I can’t understand you, why do you still talk?”

A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while A few days ago, I took this photo of turkeys while I was out on a run, marveling at how wild animals do not seem to mind when they see me. Once, I almost bumped into a deer, the way a couple might meet-cute in a rom com. We just didn’t see each other. I’ve always thought it was a fun little quirk. Not even bunnies are afraid of me. But this afternoon on my run, I came up over a hill and was suddenly within fifteen feet of a wild boar. Thankfully, a year or two ago I got curious about the big traps that show up trailside around the bay, looked them up and learned about how fast, ruthlessly aggressive, and unpredictable a wild boar can be. Otherwise, I might have (stupidly) thought I was in the middle of another one of my Snow White moments and been all “Hello there, Mr. Pig! Look at you!” believing that I could quietly observe in wonder. Instead, I knew this was a bad situation. The boar grunted and moved to the center of the trail. It felt very ‘You shall not pass!’ But I did not want to pass. I wanted to get away. I backed slowly for a few moments and then turned and ran faster than I ever have in my whole life. I’ve since learned that there’s no way that boar chased me, because there’s no chance of outrunning a boar (climb a tree if you can). But I know that boar saw me and also wasn’t happy about the surprise, and I had a moment, racing back over the hills I’d just run — not daring to look behind me more than once or twice in fear I’d lose my footing — when I truly did not know what would happen. I’ve been in scary situations, but they were a different kind of scary. I don’t think I’ve ever flat out run for my life before, but that’s truly what I thought I was doing. Right now I am still full of adrenaline and also exhausted and so so thankful to be okay.
