Well, maybe I am. I speak Spanish to my 3 Galgo girls. Well, English too, but I kinda thought they didn't have too much loving Spanish spoken to them from the galgueros, so I tell them some every day. Actually, a lot. Here is what I say most often: Sabes cuanto te amo? Te amo mucho. Porque tu eres una buena Galga. Tu eres muy hermosa, muy cariñosa, muy jugeton, muy lista, muy fuerte y muy valiente. Translated: Do you know how much I love you? I love you a lot. Because you are a good Galga. You are very beautiful, very sweet, very playful, very smart, very strong, and very brave. I said this a lot to Kiva when she first came, because she didn't seem to think she was any of that. Then I add their names, with their Spanish middle names---Evangelina, mi pequeña Corazon (heart), Esquiva, mi pequeña Milagra (miracle), and Laila, mi pequeña Mariposa (butterfly). And sometimes Laila won't sit until we say Sientaté! But I also say, There's no whining in Galgos! There was also No whining in Greyhounds! Love this Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

PatricksMom Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) My dogs would probably like me to shut up sometimes Embarrassingly, I was holding a friend's baby the other day and realized I was baby talking him the way I do Henry. "Oh, what a sweet little facey facey..." I don't think they realized. ETA: Also, "make better life choices" can be heard frequently at our house. Edited August 17, 2019 by PatricksMom Quote Beth, Petey (8 September 2018- ), and Faith (22 March 2019). Godspeed Patrick (28 April 1999 - 5 August 2012), Murphy (23 June 2004 - 27 July 2013), Leo (1 May 2009 - 27 January 2020), and Henry (10 August 2010 - 7 August 2020), you were loved more than you can know.

GreyTzu Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If you don't talk to your dog, why have one? Amoung a variety of normal chatter we have every day with our animals, I always kiss them good night and tell them I love them. Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd. American by birth, Southern by choice.

I think I'm going to have to learn how to pronounce some of those Spanish phrases for Kibo. He's only been in Canada for 2 months...
