The piggies:
"Good morning, how are my favourite boys?...."
"Come on.... veggie time" (this is when the piggy choir starts up..)
"Rufus, the nuggets are coming, stop chewing the bars"
"How much of the hay have you actually eaten? And how much now has pee on it?"
"I'm picking up your poops, so please get out of the way"
"Thor... that was Stark's piece of coriander you big bully"
"Stop eating the bag....."
"Who is rumble strutting now?"
"Just wait one minute.... have some piggy patience..."
"Bobby, please don't make this difficult this time...."
"I'm not chasing you, come here if you want to go back in the cage"
"Good night my boys, don't get up to too much mischief, mummy loves you lots... see you in the morning"
Koda
"Who's mummy's boy?"
"Who's my bestest boy in the whole world?"
"Love you so so much"
"What would I do without you?"
"Go get your lead if you want to go for a walk"
"Who's mummy's angel cake?"
"Kodakins...."
"Enough..... leave the squirrels alone"
"Say please..."
"Go show dad your new trick..."
"Come on Koda.. bed time" (he's straight up the stairs - it's his favourite time of day)
"What happened, what did you do?"
"come on my little sausage muffin..... come sit with mum"
"Wait...." (we have worked hard on impulse control. If a door opens or he hears something when we are out, I say wait and he will sit and wait, not react)
Woody
"Hello, my gorgeous boy"
"Have you had a good day today?"
"Please be safe and don't injure yourself" (when I turn him out in the field over night)
"Well that was an over-reaction"
"It's fine, it's not going to kill you"
"Woody, don't be so dramatic"
"Good boy.." (he is the biggest wimp - needs constant reassurance)
"Is that your best giraffe impression?"
"You need to behave today....."
"Love you my handsome boy"
"That is not for you to eat"
"Will you just give over..."
And that is just to name a few! I should record my days
