Junk

Peggy: "Well, they got around to buying us food. Did you taste it?"

Tobia: "Yes, indeed. I like it!"

Peggy: "I knew you would, it's junk food!"

Tobia: "And so what? As long as we exercise as much as we do, a bit of junk food will not hurt us. How do you know it is junk food anyway?"

Peggy: "Because you like it, yesterday you almost ate too much of it! And because of the taste - there is something in it, like when you smell a strange scent on people who come here. Something they put on themselves. It's probably not good for you."

Tobia: "Never mind, I like it."

Relationships

Peggy: "By the way - why do you keep calling him your master?"

Tobia: "Because he is my master! When we first met, there was this mutual attraction and you might go as far as calling us friends but that is really not my style. I'm more for the classic 'A master and his dog'. "

Peggy: "I don't need a master, I just need someone to take care of the practical things, like buying food, taking us for walks etc."

Tobia: "Yes, you are very independent and tough, I am not questioning that. But there are some things that makes me believe that you do appreciate relationships. For example when that singing lady arrives you do show some kind of emotional attachment."

Peggy: "But that is different. I don't call her my master."

Tobia: "A matter of words, I'd say."

Caught again

Peggy: "Hm, did we get caught again? And you keep asking me why I do things, I'm not supposed to do."

Tobia: "You cannot really compare those acts! I was doing what every dog would tell you is very normal, it is our instinct and I was not trying to hide anything."

Peggy: "You are certainly right about that: you are not able to hide anything. And as for the normality, I guess I could find a lot of dogs that could tell you that what I am scolded for is perfectly normal too."

Tobia: "I would say that digging holes in the ground is a habit that goes back to before life with man."

Peggy: "And checking for things to eat is not?"

Tobia: "I know what you are thinking and you are wrong."

Peggy: "Oh - listen to this: mr non aggressive... are we discussing or are we arguing now?"

Tobia: "I mean... never mind. I did what I did and I had a talk with the tall one about it afterwards."

Traps

Peggy: "Why do they leave the doors open? They know very well that we are bound to do the things, we're not allowed to do. According to me, they are setting up traps so that they can scold us. Luckily we didn't get sick this time."

Tobia: "No, I think that it was just forgetfulness. My master would never test me in that way. As for the tall one, I don't know. He might do it to prevent a shift in the balances."

Peggy: "What are you talking about. There are no news about the pecking order - you are still the bottom dog!"

Tobia: "Are you so sure? There is more in it than that as far as I see it. We are not talking one-tier management system here."

Herding

Peggy: "Quite a lot of people coming and going these days, I like that!"

Tobia: "I've noticed. It seems to me that you want to be center of attention. I mean, people don't come to see you, they come to see my master."

Peggy: "It is not my fault that they like me, I'm really not trying to invade, I just want to make friends, let them know that I'm here. If they send me away, I respect that...."

Tobia: "First you bark a lot, then you jump on people and then you start licking them all over. A bit of manners could be asked for."

Peggy: "Says who? Well, we can't all be sulking in a corner or just talking with one of the guests, now that would be unsociable. I'm just trying to include everybody, get them into the flock so to speak."

Tobia: "Yes, and they better get there fast or you will treat them like stray sheep."

Cruelty to children

Peggy: "What was wrong with your master last night? he looked like something the cat dragged in! I could tell that they had been with the peaceful woman from the smell of it and they had been eating, so...?"

Tobia: "I saw it too - and I heard about them talking about people who abandon or treat their children badly in some place far from here where your woman friend goes."

Peggy: "What's new in that? people have always done that. Well, some people at least. What can we do about it?"

English

Tobia: "I know you are not going to like this Peggy...."

Peggy: "Ci sono tante cose che non mi piacciono! Cosa c'è questa volta?"

Tobia: "I am afraid you will have to repeat what you just said - in English."

Peggy: "COSA?"

Tobia: "Yes, it seems like from now ...

Mamma

Tobia: "My mamma has arrived - yes I know, "Mamma" is not English but she is Italian and I always called her that when I was small."

Peggy: "Si, molto brava come mamma direi - ti ha buttato fuori dopo 2 settimane. Lo capisco, sai, non ho neanche voglia di pensare ai casini che hai fatto."

Tobia: "First: She didn't throw me out, she reached an agreement with my master. Second: I don't think that I created any more messes than your average dog. And third: we are still on very good terms."

Peggy: "Va beh - ma aspetta: Di solito lei arriva quando vanno via loro...!"

Tobia: "Do you mean days of biscuits and sofas?"

Peggy: "Troppo presto dire... c'è qualcosa che non torna."

Tobia: "Well, let us see who goes away, perhaps it will be the tall one?"

Pouncing

Tobia: "Peggy, please! Why do you have to show that you are in charge wherever we go? I'm not a sheep, you know."

Peggy: "A volte me lo chiedo a dire la verità."

Tobia: "Really, it is rather annoying, you know."

Peggy: "Ma scusa, io sono più attento di te a tantissimi cose, quindi per forza devo starti dietro. Se no, cosa succede? tu puoi farti male o scappare o non so cosa ...."

Tobia: "But I'm not a puppy anymore."

Peggy: "Allora perchè di comporti di cucciolo?"

Tobia: "THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!"

Peggy: "Mamma mia, ora ti stai anche scaldando. Vai a riposarti, sei stanco."

Tobia: "Let me put this in Italian - I have learned a few words, you know: IO FACCIO CHE CACCHIO VOGLIO!"

Peggy: "Va beh, fai come vuoi, io non posso sempre salvarti il culo."

Tobia: "Non hai capito un ca..o!"
