Ever wonder what your dogs say to each other? I think I have mine figured out.

Darkie: He's leaving, he's leaving! Run to the door!

Santa: I'm already here... Where've you been?

Darkie: Look at me! Daddy! Look down at me, don't you feel my tail hitting your leg?

Santa: I've told you before, don't call him that. His name is Kyle. Look, she's already closing the door. He's gone - run to the table and watch from there if you must.

Darkie: Yeah! Good idea! (jumps on kitchen table and stares out the window). Oh, he didn't look back this time!

Santa: Hey, she's yelling at you to get off the table...

Darkie: So? She always does, but doesn't do anything about it.

Santa: You should listen to her. She gives out treats, not him.

Darkie: One more minute, I want to see him drive away.

Santa: Bye, I'm going with her....

Darkie: Huh? Where are you guys going? Hang on! (jumps off the table and follows).

Santa: Oh, she's putting that stuff on her face. That means she's going to leave soon. I wish she would just stay here with us.

Darkie: I know! I know! It's summer, she told him she's happy she doesn't have to work. He said it must be nice to stay home. But she won't stay home!! Stay!

Santa: Look at it like this: she let's us stay in the sleeping room when he's not home. When he's here, he puts us in the big empty room that gets hot.

Darkie: Garage! He calls it Garage!

Santa: Plus we get a bunch of cookies whenever she leaves...

Darkie: Yeah! A lot! He only gives us one! Let's thank her!

Santa: I like how she always pets us both, no matter what.... Ah, that's feels so good behind the ears... Yeah, right there....Perfect...

Darkie: Follow her! Follow her! She's heading to the food room!

Santa: I get a cookie first, I'm older. Move!

Darkie: So? I'm the baby... Babies go first. HEY! I said I was first!!

Santa: Yeah, but I listened to her. I sat.

Darkie: She won't give me one!! Come on, now, now! Don't you see my tail?

Santa: Sit! You have to sit down! When will you learn how it works around here?

Darkie: Okay... mmmm. That was good! Wag your tail like me, hurry! Sometimes she gives us another one.

Santa: No, not this time. But look, she left the bag out... That means she is leaving for sure (sighs). I wish she would stay here with us and play.

Darkie: Play! She doesn't play! He does!

Santa: (Pause). Well. She's busy. She always works and cleans. She does scratch us, though, and talks out loud to us.

Darkie: But he plays!

Santa: Stop jumping around so much! Just sit down next to her like I do, and you'll get more attention.

Darkie: Ha!! You only sit and stare! Who wants to do that?

Santa: She pats my head all the time. Know why? Because I follow her, behave, and watch her. You could learn a thing or two from me.

Darkie: I can't sit still! But she loves me anyway! She always picks me up...

Santa: Yeah, and tells you, "No!"

Darkie: Huh?

Santa: Uh, hello? Like last night when you climbed into the open cleaning machine where they put the food dishes? She was trying to put the dirty ones in and you jumped in. She had to go get him and you got in trouble.

Darkie: Yeah, but that was fun! They were only mad for like a second. Hey....

Santa: Bye! I'm following her.

Darkie: You always do.

Santa: So? I love her, she's so nice. I want to be next to her all of the time.

Darkie: I know, me too.

this is so true!! but, i take it more personally when my dogs love my husband more because he plays with them. i remind the two dogs on a daily basis that i'm the primary caregiver. they seem to turn a deaf ear. maybe it has to do with them still blaming me for bringing tormenting children into their world. :) oh, the look of panic in their eyes when i started to get a big belly on the second pregnancy.
