Do you talk to your dogs?

Thank heavens! I thought I was the only one who carried on conversations with my babies. I know the babies understand me but the people I work with think that's crazy.

[akaspaddero]

All the time.
During a conversation with a therapist, i said something about talking to my dogs. He sad "You talk to your dogs?" I said ahh yes! He started laughing and said "Do they talk back?". Needless to say, I never returned to him....lol

But of course! I talk to them just like they were human kids. I think I even talk nicer to them than some people do their skin kids

I talk to my dogs all the time, I think they enjoy it! I talk to them at work and some of the dogs, one in particular "talks" back lol and I find that the cats I see at work "talk" to you when you talk to them, but cats are very vocal anyway, My mum is the craziest for talking to them especially when me or my brothers or sister annoys her! her normal lines are " Why cant they be as good as you!", Oh and she sings to the dogs too, the black lab loves it she wags her tail and rolls over for a tummy rub

Of course!
I talk to them like they were humans.

[chocolatepuppy]

Sure do, all the time!

[joycenalex]

of course i talk to alex, quite a bit. the cats don't listen as well, however when mojo wants to talk to me, there is no quiet in the house until she has said her say.

Yep I do, everyday. Not continually though. I'm somewhat quiet, so I'm not really chattering at them all day. So they're very attentive, when I do start talking with them. Gull and especially Oz, usually answer. Murph just wags his tail at me.

There's been quite an amazing transformation in Gull. From that lil' puppy, who didn't respond at all to my voice, to the adult now that gets so excited when I'm talking at him. I do a lot of singing to him too, cuz he loves it so.

I always make a point to have heart to heart talks with them, whenever there's any major change or situation that's going to happen to them. It seems to really help. Not sure if they understand the words exactly or just the calm in my voice, but they do seem to adjust to things okay.
