I'm sure there is more...
Ah ah - (As in do that again and I'll turn you into a cushion)

Go pooooo! (I almost did then!)
I also use 'off!' as in 'Off the bed, couch, cat, flowerbed'
26. Oi!
27. Stop it.
Likewise...
Bob can read mine.
If I'm grouchy he stays in a different room and every now and again he'll look in
If I'm a bit down he'll be in my face bringing me his toys
If I'm concentrating working - he'll lie on top of my feet under the desk
If I'm happy he'll follow me around tail wagging
If I'm anxious - he'll sit staring at me and every now and again he'll let out a little whine.
I've caught him a few times studying my face when I come home to see what sort of mood I'm in. (I could be anthropomorphising here - but I don't think so)
If I'm watching football/rugby/cricket he knows the difference between a roar of 'goal!' 'Try' and 'Howzat!' to 'tackle him you useless tosser!'.
When my team does score he gets excited and runs around for a bit - when we concede he sighs (or that might be me!?)
20. Good dog - praise
21. Bad dog - i'm trading you in for a set of golf clubs
Is it time? (can mean for food or walkies, dependent on time of day)
As for picking up on moods? I don't think she cares that much, TBH
Polly, the spaniel however, is far more sensitive/receptive to me.
Phrases your dogs can recognise .... ermmmm
1) Oh for fuck's sake!
2) NOOOOOOO!!!!!
.......... yup thats about it !
Oh. My. Good. God.
Phrases numbers 1 and 2 of Bruce's will be put to good use over the next two weeks, methinks
LOL!!!!!!
Well Kara has a new trick... she can pick her own blackberries now...
When we go walkies and I pick some blackberries I used to give her the odd one because she seems to like them... Well little Ma'am has been watching that I only pick the dark ones... so now she sits there and veeeery gently puts a carefully chosen ripe blackberry between her front teeth, takes it off the bush and noms it... then picks another one... always picking ripe ones...
*shakes head*
She would certainly be the brains of the operation in this current doggy household - talk about Dumb and Dumber
Shhminky is just coming in for some lovin...
>squeak< >squeak-squeak< >squeeeeeeeak< >squeakeekeekeek<
I'm home
it cost me £180 extra and I was 4 hours late 
but I think I can say that, having had a lovely weekend, I am no longer crap at relationships 
at least for the moment.
The resident dog loved me.
The friends were slightly warmer towards me. 
The family still need some work although the one who was very sarky last time was a bit friendlier (I suspect words have been had though nothing said to me) the one who was offhand last time was even worse but she is basically just rude and disfunctional so I don't think it's any worse with me. <shruggy shoulders>
