Ah cute... you can talk English, Afr, Kiwi and dogs will just NOW. Our boy understands walkies, bacon, we are going to the park, poohs and wees etc ! Oh and pritt kitty cat !!!  lol. best wishes to all Saffers who relocate and get a new pet or bring one with the new less traumatic process ! :hug: :clap: :clap: :clap: :) :) :)


I have to agree with you Evita. There were times when my husband would be at work, and the kids at school and me, myself, I alone at home and not knowing anyone just after immigrating, those were lonely times indeed....and THANK GOD for my boy, being at home with me :smitten: I'm sure the immediate neighbours thought we had someone else staying with us in the house, cause I would talk to my dog like a person..... :blush:

And because he is such a good looking boy, he is a head turner in the streets, which meant people would come up to me and chat, and pat him.......getting to know the neighbours - thanks to Rocks! :-*

They sure do have their advantages!

I agree with you Evita, getting a dog (prettiest thing in NZ- must add) brought some normality to our family here in NZ. He is spoiled rotten and is fully bilingual!  ;D
