Is it a sign of madness to apologise to the dog....

[PersonalClown]

when you stand on his paw?
Even though he was so close behind you, scrounging for your dinner, that you didn't see him?

I just said sorry to the Staffy for treading on him.

No at all, quite normal, I would say.

Me, I speak fluent guinea-pig.

I insisted both my teengaged dcs apologised to the dog this afternoon as she was asking to go out to do a wee and they both ignored her. She accepted their apologies graciously (and neither of my dcs questioned apologising to a dog - why would they?)

hope not

I always apologis to mine too, and sing to him, and talk to him almost constantly and I'm definitely not mad. At all. No sirreee! I am very very sane.
