"Aww you missed me!"
She is an old friend. The baby is a Dalmation, a fast growing, unwanted, unwelcome pup.
She says she is not fond of dogs, but is beginning to like hers just a little.

I don't understand why, even the most Indian desi family will speak to their Dogs in English???
No no, not commenting on you, talking about every person in India. Everyone, no matter how they do not know English will call their dog as "Come, come"...
Nice . :) And now you made me miss mine , which is about 2500 kms away from me . :(
@Kislay Hey you must post about your dog 2500 kms away! How old? A family dog or particularly fond of you ...? The last post was not about my dog, it was about a friend who hates dogs!
:)
@Rakesh True! Even the names are always English names! But one of our dogs knows "Khaali bas" meaning 'sit down' in Marathi, and my maid has also taught them, 'doodh pahije tula' (do you want milk) :)
@Rakesh - Interesting! I also talk to my cats and dogs in English, Malayalam and Hindi! So they are quit multilingual! ;)

nice one :D this is called creative thinking
rakesh and IHM: well with our family we speak to animals and babies (as in babies in general..ours and others) in Puhsto...which led to our neighbour's kids telling their parents when I was born "the family that moved next door, uncle aunty are pushto speaking, the baby is also pathan and EVEN the dog only speaks pushto".
I do the same with animals and babies ..which led to a friend asking me how can you tell if the cat is pathan?
@Rakesh.. my dogs know more malayalam, a smattering of English, and most of it is the language that Shail has mentioned!
@IHM.. biscuit tin opening; neighbours dog outside; Find sher khan [here its find malu :)]; NO; Waittttttt!!
Oh how I loved this one!!!!
It really doe snot matter what language one speaks t dogs in. They understand the tone, and though it what you want to tell them or speak to them. They are pretty clever.
How can a Dalmatian be unwelcome and unwanted? How can any puppy or cuddly thing? Some people have good dogs wasted on them( sighs in exasperation) now if only we had a large house....
my dogs name is naggi, its dervied from nanga when he was young he used to look as if he is naked so my sister used to call him naggi.
my sister has special language to talk with dogs its kind of hybrid of gujarati. well we dont talk with him in english but in malayalam or hindi i guess because he is a street dog he wont understand english. we have a whole lot of street dogs who always come in and out of house at their will, our house is kind of pilgrimage for them they bring their other friends and also sometimes stranded puppies find their way into our home.
@ Maya, that is so wonderful, that your home is a place that all of those dogs can come for care and comfort! Kudos to you and your family!
But well, they do pick up any language at all... no matter where they come from :) Two of mine are the breed you mention. It began with an abandoned pup outside our home, and she had a litter of 7 pups, 6 of whom I personally placed in loving homes, and whom I do keep track of :) The eldest of the lot, is my baby too, and he lives with us :) So the mother and son still bond so well, it's abs. amazing to watch :)
I am missing a dog in my life!
Well if she's beginning to like hers just a little, pup will grow over her :) they love and affections is infectious.
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Extremely toxic. It may not show any visible symptoms thought.It is even more lethal for cats though. Basically keep your dogs off sweet treats.
