🐾 Things I Say Every Day as an Animal Chiropractor & Mama
This got me laughing the other day. I was trying to change my "aligator like" 1 year old and as he was rolling away from the diaper I said "whoa!" and then I laughed that I have been adjusting so many horses that is my go to phrase!
At some point during every workday and every mom-day, you'll hear me say:
🤠 "Whoa!" (for horses and babies)
💋 "Kiss for movement." (for a toddler that I need to get his attention or a horse)
😬 "Please don't bite me." (babies, toddlers, dogs, horses, okay when does this one NOT apply??)
🎭 "Are you hurt, or are you being dramatic?" (toddlers, nippy horses, dogs, and maybe sometimes my husband! HA - love you babe!)
✋ "Hold still for just a moment." (all of the above options)
🚨 "That doesn't sound good." (I say this way too much. Moreso for my toddler but it's slipped out when hearing a gnarly case history too!)
It is just too funny....
I'm not always sure whether I'm talking to a horse, a dog, or one of my kids. 😂🐴🐶👧👦
What else have you said to both of your animals and your kids??
