Do you talk to your pets?

[Mr. Ed]

If I don’t talk to my pets how will they understand me?

 

[Sandy and her dog]

Most owners admit to "talking" to their animal/pet like they were human.

Do you? Do you think they understand you?

Absolutely! I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts but that's ok.

Of course I talked to my cats. They knew "din dins" and "go out". They knew their names and the names of the other two cats. Now, don't ask me how I know this, but my cats figured out that what i said had meaning. But they had no idea what that meaning was. They listened to see if there was words they knew. They couldn't figure out laughter. I was making 'sad' sounds, but I wasn't sad.

 

[Teacher Terry]

I have always talked to my dogs. Everyone I know does too.

I have excellent repatee with the dog from across the road.
He sometimes brings a few cans of beer and we sit under the veranda playing chess, but I'm not too keen on the way he 'co cks' his leg up and pees against my chair, and, my chair is beginning to pong.
