After dinner tonight, I ventured outside to water the plants. George came along with me and believe it or not, we actually had a lovely conversation.
At least I think we did.
Telepathically.
ME: “Hey, George. Watcha doing?”
GEORGE: “I think I’ll have a lie down and watch you water the plants.”
ME: “Georgie, wouldn’t it be fun to go on a Road Trip this summer?”
(Please note that at the mention of the words Road Trip, George opens his eyes wide. He knows what a road trip is).
GEORGE: “Would you be taking me?”
ME: “Of course we’d be taking you! We’d never leave you at home!”
GEORGE: “Oh, good. I feel better now.”
ME: “I want to go to Maine. Do you want to go to Maine, George?”
GEORGE: “Huh? What’s that? Did you hear that, mom?”
ME: “Yeah, I think I heard something. I don’t know . . . it coulda been . . ."
GEORGE: “There it is again. Did you hear that?”
GEORGE: “Ok. Wait a minute. Now it’s up here. High up in this tree.”
ME: “It’s probably just a squirrel, George. Calm down, ok, and let’s talk about a big Road Trip to Maine. I really want to go.”
GEORGE: “You’re taking me, right mom?”
ME: “Yes, George. {sigh} We wouldn’t leave home without you.”
He may be smart, but when it comes to squirrels, everything else just goes out the window.

Oh, I love George..you should feature him about once a month! My dad talk me to understand what animals are thinking/saying...and I do! Come say hi :D
I heart George! A road trip to Maine sounds fun...you know Quebec City isn't that far away. You'd have place to stay while you are here...George too!
Kate:
Like the rest of your faithful followers, I always enjoy your conversations with George. He's such a handsome devil!
xoxo, friend.

So... you're both having coversations with George now? LOL
Who could ever get tired of looking at your sweet boy! I love these pictures! And I want to go to Maine too...I could be your official dog walker!
Kat :)
I love the pics of George! our Linus feels the same way about squirrels! although he does not feel the same way about travel.. he prefers to stay close to home.
i hope you have an enjoyable weekend!

George is quite the conversationalist! I'm sure he will enjoy a road trip with his mom and dad. Love the pics, George is a beauty
Heh CG, don't ya know? a Squirrel Warrior NEVER rests. geesh.
Hope you get to take that road trip tho. Maybe gotta choose a different moment INDOORS to have a chat with His Warriorness... :>]]
("Hi George!")
What a hoot! but I have 2 to talk at!
I know what thats like.
I like to play with textures and all that fun stuff when it's free. Some designers are just charging way too much money if you ask me.
George is one smart cookie (does he know that word too?)

Shhhh....my dog and I have conversations all the time.....I prefer to think it is perfectly normal and she does understand, just like George. On your way north you will have to pitstop here. I would feed you and George! :)
I heart you!!!!
Thank you....
George is quite the conversationalist! Love seeing his sweet face. :c)
Ah George ... a squirrel track mind ... it could be worse
Adorable as always. We're hoping to breed Bonnie next year - do you think George might like a blind date sometime!!

Thanks for the great shots of George. I love them! Have a great weekend.
I never tire of your photos no matter the subject:)
George is a typical male...easily distracted...:)....hope you do take that road trip...
Reminds me of trying to talk to my brother when he's doing something else.
I end up having to repeat everything.
Have a great weekend!
George is such a handsome guy...
I love George. I wish I was taking a road trip to Maine with him this summer.
That George!
I just adore George! Thank you for sharing George with all of us. You are so talented.
Blessings and I hope your trip to Maine happens :)

this conversation is too precious and I could swear I heard George talking...Your blackberries look so good. Our's do not come out till Mid July to August the little wild ones.....they are so good, but I do not like to pick, so I just buy them... Hey Kate: We are to have maybe seven dry days...oh boy....and even sunny too...
Have a good weekend. Kay in Oregon
George has so much personality ...
Good evening Kate!
A long time ago we had a german shepherd and my daughter (who was younger then) used to always laugh when I would talk for Shep...it just seemed to come naturally...maybe I have something in common with Dr. Doolittle! As long as no-one mistook me for do-little..wouldnt ever want to be referred to as that for my name! lol
Bottom line is...we love our dogs and we just get to know them so intimately dont we?!
George is adorable!
Have a sweet evening!

Great post with George, your shining star
Well I would like to go to Maine as well! I think you should invite all your friends to go with you :)
Personally I think George wants to take a trip to Virginia, at least that's what he told me.
I love George, these are all great! Our dog freaks when we take him in the car, any time we say the words "road trip" he runs and hides in his bed, shaking like a leaf! Oh well...
