Oh no, here we go!
Being a dog mom as well as a twin mom I have many different voices (other than the ones in my head). So I have a distinct dog voice that I use when I want Rupert, our golden retriever, to move away from the girls and go lay down. The command I use is “Get!” and he know that means back up and go lay down. So the other day after our jaunt to the park, Rupert was tired and in no mood to be hasseled by the girls. When he is in this mood he is grumpy and often growls, and that I don’t like or tolerate. So I told him in my dog voice, Get Get Get!
So Lela was the one that had crawled over to pet him and she got in her little pet and then he moved on. In the meantime, Piper crawled across the room, stood up by the sofa and shook her finger at him and said Get Get Get, in her own little voice. It was so sweet and I am sure a sign of what is to come. I guess it is time to be sweet little mom and only use words that I want them to use, hmmmm….shouldn’t be too tough (LOL!)
