I’m one of those people who constantly talks to her pets... probably a little too much if I’m being honest. I find myself using some phrases which have somewhat turned into a signature for each one of them, and other phrases which can be thrown about to any animal in different situations. Here are my top ten phrases, I tend to use on the daily.
1. Hello beautiful! Or Hello Handsome!
I say this when I see my pets first thing in the morning. They deserve a nice wake up too!
2. Thank you for the kisses!
I kissed a dog and I liked it!
3. Give me a kiss! Kiss!
Sometimes, a little puppy love is all you need to make it through the day!
4. Who’s the prettiest little puppy in all the land?!
I continue the phrase with “Kodie is!,” but obviously I'm biased.
5. Baby Beluga!
One of the many nicknames I have for my male Rottie, who is a friggin whale by the way.
6. You’re so fast!
The sound of paws thudding down a hallway. I truly believe this is what a stampede sounds like...on a much smaller scale that is.
7. You’re a panther! You’re a Tiger! Did they give me the wrong animal at the shelter?
Cats are weird, man. Sometimes they walk on hind legs. Sometimes they pounce on you out of nowhere. And sometimes, they walk like they’re the king of the safari.
8. What are you doing? Must you? Really? Are you serious right now?
Did your cat just kick kitty litter all over the floor? Did your dog just jump on you, both paws landing smack on your chest? Did your hand become a chew toy?
9. Stinky!
They need a bath or their poo smells to high heaven.
10. I love you!
No matter if they smell all clean or like they just crawled out from a sewer after a day of play in the mud, I love them just the same, and they deserve to be told that every day of their lives multiple times a day!
