The dogs and I, we have mutual respect. However, we suffer some relationship issues. Don't get me wrong, the communication is there...sort of. We do talk amongst each other quite a bit. Almost non-stop. The usual 'how you doing', 'check this out!' and the normal airing of grievances.

The thing is, there is a serious language barrier. We talk and talk and it just ends with stern stares and occasionally, strenuous pushing and pulling.

They have their desires. I have mine. It appears that our desires do not necessarily mesh. I'm not even sure they speak the same language, much less mine. Although, I gather theirs is more of a dialect issue and, obviously, a generation gap.

We seem to get on OK, though. We all love to yell at the neighbors. I guess that's the point really. You have to find some common ground.
