Do you have conversations with your dogs?

[cassiesmom]

What kind of conversations do you have with your dogs/other pets?

Cassie: Meow (This could mean anything from I'm glad to see you -to- I just wanted to warn you that I barfed on the rug again so don't be mad at me)
Me: What, honey?
Cassie: Meow (Same inflection and pitch)
Me: What do you need?
(pause)
Me: Is that everything you wanted to tell me?
Cassie: Meow (Exactly the same as before)


OR

ME: In the bedroom; Cassie: In the living room
Cassie: Meow! (LOUD) (I know what this one means: Mom, I'm in here and I just realized you aren't!)
Me: In here, honey


OR

Me: In bed
Cassie: (hops up to her usual spot on the bed) Mrrrp
I know what this one means - Here I am Mom - it's the same sound she makes when she wants to let me know she's close by while I'm getting her food ready or she is just content to be near me.
