Hi all. Occasionally I drop in and lurk. A few may remember me from years

Anyway, DW, friends and I have been having great fun talking about what our pets
would say if they learned to talk like parrots and budgies do.
I just had to share this. :-)
Example, a friends pomeranian named Petie would be saying
"Petie Petie Punkin Eatie" while bouncing around in circles and wagging his
tail..
Our overly confident, bullyish, king-of-the-house tabby named Bill E. Bob ( or
William E. Robert when he's in trouble, which is often), would be saying
"You little bastard". He is always stalking the other critters. :-[
Another friend has a bulldog named Greta. She likes to "scoot" on our carpet.
For her it would be "Dammit dammit dammit!"
as well as "That's not your food!"
Cali, our calico, loves tummy rubs. She would flop in front of you and say
"Oooo.., tummy rub rub rub.."
Molly, the *big* torti with giant owl-like eyes would say "Hoooot".
Another one that Bill E. Bob would say is "Sit prettty", right before he swats
the bag of treats out of your hand.
What would your critters say? :-D
..,
Shel.
P.S.- I was going to ping Flippy to archive this thread, but I see she's out of
town for a while. This fits right in on her site, so you might want to add a PS
like "OK for Flippy's page" if you want. :-)

Bandit: "$(*$)(*%#(* kids", and "#)(*$%(*$%) kittens", and "Quit breathing
my air!!"
Demi: "Go away, go away"
Jessie: "Fish food! I want fish food!!!"
Sammy: "Let's play!"
OK for Flippy's page.

Where the dog is concerned, Tiger would either hold up his paw and say
"Talk to the paw, because the ears ain't listening", or just call her
"Scum". ;o)

Frank would say, 'Just a little medicine, then you can eat.'

blinds alone!'
Caliban would say, 'That's not your food.'
Miranda and Caliban would say, 'Stop that! Leave that cupboard door

LOL!
The thought of a dog or cat wandering in chattering "Ranger, leave Amelia
alone", "Ranger, leave Sammy alone", "Ranger, leave Harri alone" has got me in
stitches. :-)

I suspect that Ranger thinks his middle name is "No!" :)

Reminds me of the old Bill Cosby routine -- he thought his brother's
name was "Get in here!" and that his name was "Jesus Christ!" ;)

I have a bad habit of leaving vinyl LPs leaning where the cats can get them.
They have ruined quite a few classic album covers.
One day I'll learn. :-/

Lets hope that they never try sharpening their claws on the LPs
themselves. Vinyl is soft enough that they would probably be able to
scratch the records.

Guess who would be saying these things:;)
"Come here little buddy, want a cuddle? Give Mommy a kiss."
"Get down off that. Get out of there. Don't play with that. Get out
from under there. You little monkey!!! EEEEEEEEEKK! YIKES!! OWWW!"

Heidi would say, "You don't need anything to eat; you're a fat
cat."
Both Will and Heidi would have learned, "Who's a great big
foolish? You ain't got no sense -- no pussycat sense no-how --
not the least little bit of sense -- nope -- none."

OK, I'll bite. What things do they do do deserve the above ? :-)
(I'm laughing just imagining the situation)

<chuckle> Oh, I'm not aware of any rule that says they have to
actually *deserve* any of the nonsense I talk to them. My rule
is, If they come looking for attention they'll get it, but
they're also likely to get a whole gravy-boat-full of quite
meaningless and largely formulaic babble poured over them in the
process. Luckily, they have strong stomachs and are not easily
nauseated.
