My dog groks the *meaning* of every move I make.

[UTUSN]

(There were TWO (2) pop references, 1- "grok" and 2- "every move you make". But nevermind. )


* Morning: Am sitting at the edge of the bed, shuffling my feet into the sandle things, and Lucky is crouching watching every shuffling. It means I'm getting up.

* Breakfast: He gets half a weiner, rawhide chews, and milkbone, then *run* outside for commode needs, then soon/fast race back inside for morning cuddling.

* If I reach for my hat, pandemonium, it means we're going outside for yardwork.

* After 3 P.M. siesta, it means 2 Brazile nuts from the Mixed Nuts can. Also, the "joke" of "You want your NUTS" is really old & not funny.

* The Buh-bye thing means *gone*/alone for 3 hours.

* Motor of the USPS miserable truck means, *TRUCK!* running outside and barking furiously.

1. Our animal friends grok many things about us.

My cat groks bedtime when I close my laptop.

[UTUSN]

2. When I say, "I'm going to the BED" - he runs over there.

Oh, the part i sorta am put-off, is:

* He's sleeping in his chair, fine.

* I go to the bathroom, don't bother him, but then he's over there while I'm on the can. I say, "Please, don't get up."

3. My cat too..any crinkling plastic means her snack pouch

[UTUSN]

5. They *KNOW*! - and tell TIME!

[Diamond_Dog]

9. They DO tell time! It's amazing!

We take Sophie outside for playtime every day around four.
At approx. 3:45 she starts giving my husband the Lab stare.

4. When I turn off the TV in the evening

The TV chimes twice when it’s turned off …Sophie knows that means bed time and goes to her dog bed.

If I get out the Ziploc bag with the bread crusts she knows it’s time for her pill.

[UTUSN]

6. Whups/thanks, it's time for *MY* pills!

[lunatica]

7. My cat's got my number too

But I think he trained me. I always do what he wants. Especially when he wants to eat for the seventh time straight. He convinces me that I’m starving him. He is a master of the plaintive pathetic meowing that means, “I’m in the last stages of severe starvation!”. I fall for it every time.

[UTUSN]

8. *DARLIN'* - where the heck have you BEEN?!

[lunatica]

16. Taking a break from all things Trump

We all assumed that after he lost the news would talk about him much less and that everyone would just lose interest, but that didn’t happen. He still dominates the news at will and now he has cheerleaders even in Congress.

I’m sick of him and his cheerleaders and followers. So I realized I needed to do what was necessary and cut myself off from any news or people who can’t seem to get enough of him. To tell the truth it was like when I quit smoking. It’s hard but I had to simply cut it all out if my life. It’s like fighting an addiction when so many others are also addicted.

That’s where I’ve been.

10. Doggos are truly strangers in a strange land, their love for us beings is a gift.

My favorite doggo from my younger days would hang on every breath I took and when he heard the sirens wail of the local PD his eyes would fix on mine for a second and I wondered as he sped off down the street, exactly who belonged to who...

Peace.

11. My cat says she loves me when she wants wet food by rubbing my leg.

Mind you, she is not a cuddly cat at all. She talks a lot!

If I ask her to "Give me lovin'", she rubs my leg.

If I sit in a certain chair, it's time for a gum rub, an ear rub, and cheeks.

She also is enamored with eating fish food flakes.

I've learned that if she hears me say the consonant sounds, Fsh Fd, she goes bananas and will do anything at all. It's also the source of her loudest pur (which is not audible, but very visceral!

I love the relationships we have with our mates! It's the zenith of symbiosis in nature and evolution! Plus, she's the most lovable creature in my world!

Sheba!

[UTUSN]

12. Wow, absolutely *gorgeous*!

[keopeli]

14. Sheba proudly meows her appreciation. :)

13. If I stand up and reach for a jacket it must mean we're going out.

If I don't leash him, it means try really hard to sneak out the door anyway. If you get out, it means you're going.

NOT.

15. I Know The Feeling

I grab the keys off the rack near the garage & he runs to the door. Car ride! Oh, boy!
If I put on my dressy leather jacket, he knows I'm going to school and he's not going for a ride.
In warm weather, I grab his seat belt harness; he sits down and raises the left paw so I can get hus harness on.
They are so adaptable, aren't they?
