Do you have conversations with your dogs?

[Kater]

Absolutely! I'm always telling him how handsome he is. Sometimes I confide in him as well....and just vent to him about whatever is going on in my life.
However, as an introvert, I love that I can be with my dog and say nothing at all. I think we communicate with dogs a lot more through our body language than through the spoken word, but as primates we hopelessly fall back on verbal language.
Anyway, I cherish him both as a 'listener' and a 'quiet time' buddy.

You are not alone. Yes, I do talk to my dogs & sometimes the cats too.
I ususlly just ramble off my plans for the day, when, I'll be back,etc.

[chocolatepuppy]

Yes of course. I've recently been telling Layla a story about how the bears in the woods aren't afraid of thunderstorms. I talk to my dogs, my cats and even my fish.

[Alysser]

I talk to all my pets, well except the shrimp. I've been doing it since I my first ever fish, Rainbow and I will continue to lol. By now, It's more of a habit. I talk to them about anything really. Usually, it's how much I love them and how pretty they are.

[Freedom]

Yes, I do talk to the dogs and the cats as well. Sometimes I mutter about the news or Dad or something or other. Often I tell them how special they are; pretty or handsome. And of course giving commands like stay home and take care of the hosue and be good; get ready for walkie, etc.

[Daisy and Delilah]

If I didn't talk to the dogs, people would think I have something wrong with me. I tell the dogs everything.

[M&M's Mommy]

I talk to the dogs exactly the same way I talk to the kids. Like, "Mocha, be patient. Don't you see I'm busy here", or "Missy, leave your sister Muffin alone for a minute, will ya?", or "Muffin, I know you wanna go out for a walk, but I'll have to fold these clothes first.. " .

When I talk to them (in this manner), they cock their heads trying to undertand me. It's really, really, really cute..

I talk to them constently!!! When I get home from work every day I get a mouth full from the Princess! Here's a video of it..

Then I ask her how her day was, etc... and it goes on forever!!

I talk to Bud all the time too, it's usally "It's okay Bud, you're okay Bud, don't be afriad Bud" I just wish he could hear me and understand what I'm telling him.

[cyber-sibes]

Of course, who else am I going to talk to?
I tell them what i'm doing, and what we're going to do. Sometimes I ask their opinions.
Star stares at me like I should just read her mind. Jack talks back, he can get pretty vocal, it's cute.

Sierra has a lovely voice, Angie! I love how she keeps putting her paws on Bud when he walks by.

[NancyNW]

Oh, only all the time. She's a very good listener.
