I know we all talk to our pets but do you ever act like you are holding a conversation with them? It all started years ago when I had a neighbor who was interested in me. I couldn't go out the door without tripping over him. He apparently did not understand the word: NO! I had a dog at that time who had a pen in the back yard. I always knew when my neighbor was around because my dog hated him and would bark his head off when the neighbor was around. Sometimes I would look out and see the neighbor out by my dog's pen. I finally got an idea.
I knew my neighbor watched my backyard from his window so I would go out and talk to Smokey (my dog).
He would bark and I would act like I knew what he was saying. It would go something like this:
BARK!
(me) "He did what?"
Bark!
"I don't know. I don't think you should do that."
BARK! BARK!
"Well, if he does that again, you have permission to pee on his leg." (I would keep looking over my shoulder toward the neighbors window."
After I started these conversations, I never saw my neighbor again. Smokey has been gone a long time but I still hold conversations with animals sometimes. I have a stray cat, Grandma, who takes a walk with me everyday. We have some great conversations. For some reasons, none of the new neighbors have ever stopped by.
Has anyone else ever done anything like this?

It is so reassuring to know I am not the only person who talks to their animals and waits for a response. My cat , Texas sleeps on my bed (all day) and when I walk in while he is snoozing he will often lift his head up and throw it back and say "meeeooow" and I swear it sounds just like he is saying "HI!!" I say Hi and again he says Hi back. I love it!
