Toby is 9 months now, we love him so much, i thought i was the soppy one but the other day my husband phoned from work and asked me to put Toby on the phone :D :D :D  i did so and Toby just looked at the phone, i think he couldnt make it out that he could hear daddy but he wasnt there,
of corse i told everyone even his work mates :D :D :D

We did this when Gus was smaller until it became a bit of nuisance as he used to race to the phone after that and make a nuisance of himself (even when it wasnt for him ) :rolleyes:

Of course, all ways have a word with the dogs when I phone home, doesn't every one?

Hi

I believe this to be very normal behaviour in most dog familys.  I often spend a night away from my dog and speak to her on the phone when she was younger she would her my voice then run to the front door thinking I was there.

Now don't laugh :D years ago when I was at home and wne abroad for the first time without the family. I left a tape recording of my voice for Sam and Gypsy. For my parents to play to them in the evening.

Karen thats so thoughtful. Glad to hear people love their dogs. I tuck mine in for the night by shaking up his bedding, fixing his blanket over the basket and drawing the curtains over doors and windows to exclude the draughts. I even switch off the light and say " Goodnight Morse, see you in the morning for breakfast" like the kids. :D

I always ask to speak to mine when im away from them :)
I always kiss them goodbye and tell them i love them :)
I say goodnight and in the morning i ask them if they want a cup of tea...
I guess i love my dogs... people at work think im mad because every sunday as regular as clockwork i take charlie to a healing centre to be healed...

I have taught my afghan to Bark down the phone to her Grandma (my mum)!

Well Pinklilies you'll be glad to know I'm still trying to get mine to shut up on the phone my mom that is not the dog :D

Mine always start playing and being loud when I'm on the phone :(

But I do tuck them in before bed, I even wrap Tiva up in her blanket (the other's are in kennels with big comforters and say goodnight.

our dogs know....
when im getting ready, if i put on my uniform for work taz always sits watching me sulking.
If i've got normal clothes on and i put my shoes on he follows me all around the house whining. I take this to be --please mum can i come??--
very often he comes everywhere with me, but when i have to go alone, i get to the door turn to him amd say, sorry mate you can't come today- mummy won't be long i love you, and he gets kisses too.
he gets kisses and an i love you before he goes to sleep, and we chat on the phone when we're apart.
Funny thing is i'm convinced he knows. Cuz when you say i love you he gives you a big kiss XX

I always talk to beau on the phone if i have to leave for days at a time. Even dad calls to talk to her. I thought it was a little weird at first, but now i am so used to it...=)
