Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for June 19, 2024

i tell my shadow sooooo … nope .. nothing weird here

Every time. “Mama love, mama smooch, mama see you later.”

We all do the same!

I always do. After I give them their goodbye kisses.

When Queen Elizabeth II died the Royal Beekeeper informed the bees as tradition demands.

You mean there are people who don’t?

Along with a warning not to make a mess?

I’ll be back soon. Be good.

And good boy treats when we get home.

And to take care of the house when I’m away. Plus the oldest is in charge till I get home!!!

My actual words were “Gotta go work”. She understood.

I dont leave for work until I’ve loved on each of the 5 cats, even if I have to hunt one down

Then my wife and grandkid, I usually don’t have to hunt for them

Aunty you have it backwards. Only weirdos DON’T say goodbye to their pets when they leave.

We not only do that, but my wife leaves the TV on. We have to be careful when we leave for church on Sunday. That’s when the local station switches to a preacher program. That would be considered animal cruelty.

We change the channel to something that makes more sense like Ancient Aliens. Our dog loves that program.

Looks like nutty Aunty is paying homage to a statue?

You’re not weird, Aunty. I do the same thing.

Aunty, you have always been, are still and always will be a weirdo, even if you do tell you dog you will be back.

Of course!

Rye ro. Rye ruv roo.

Dogs do understand what you are saying. At least, mine do.

ALL pet parents do…or should.

EVERY~SINGLE~TIME. AND they each get a “snackie” to help ease the pain of me leaving…….

Of course, after I’ve given them a “cookie”.

Just had to say our last goodbye to our Violet…

I leave the TV on for one of my dogs. Separation anxiety and all. Seems to work. And yes, I DO tell them (that are in at the time) that I will be right back. Just habit to address the household, especially when they ALL stare at me in clear offence/disgust, totally aghasted that I am actually NOT going into the Kitchen…

Always, explain where I’m going, who with, when I’ll be back and probably what I’ll be bringing back to her.

I tell her how long we’ll be gone, hold up 1-4 fingers, because she can count to four. (4 paws cleaned off after rain and baths). LOL ;-)

People do, but you’re still a weirdo.

Of course not. How can they be back before they leave?

Waitaminnit, doesn’t everyone do that?

And I tell them to be good kitties.

I tell my kitties to be good & let them know which one is in charge .

Everyone does.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now get out of here. I have a couch to sleep on.

Yup, when I leave for work, when I leave for groceries, always let them know that I may be light, etc.

This pet grandma always tells the pups I’m coming back, going to pick up your mommy, be good!

I do it all the time lol

I’ll be back and you be a good puppy. I’ll warn her if I’m going to be later than usual, too.

I tell my deaf dog I am going out and give her a treat. I have waited a little bit. She will take the treat, eat it, and go take a nap. I think it would be rude to sneak out of the house and not let the pets know.

I always tell my pooch, “Be right back.” And under my breath, “I hope.”

If I don’t tell Xander “Bye-Bye,” he’ll try to run out the door with me.

My cat loves to see me off on my journeys, and is there to greet me home.
