    Man, that went fast. Was that really 50 things? Thanks for sharing all those details. It's cute that you talk for the dogs. I can picture that. I bet the dogs also give 'good advice' that the kids dont want to hear - yeh? xxooo

    This is great. I loved reading all this stuff about you! Some of them I knew: Like the first one and the last one. Some really surprised me, though, like the artificial nails!

    My girls told me I'd be sad during the day if I didn't have my dogs, because I talk to them so much. I never even realized I did it, until my husband pointed out that I told the dogs I was going to have another cup of coffee.

    I don't just talk to them I also talk FOR them. Example... One will come in with a toy wanting to play... she will go up to "the engaged one" and she (the dog, but actually me) will say "play with me" to which my daughter will say something like "not now Cali"

    then Cali (me) will say under her breath "bitch" and then sometimes they will even argue with each other- the whole time me talking FOR the dog!
    I talk to them(the dogs) like they are people too...

    yes.... I am crazy!
