Do you talk to your dog?

[Lurkalot]

And more importantly, does it ever talk back to you? Mine does, she's a very clever girl.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

Yeah all the time. I spend more quality time with him than the Mrs
Very proud of the fact that I taught him to bark when I say "kill!"
Might come in handy one day.

 

[HarryVegas]

Of course!

 

[Laughing]

I talk to all our animals including the fish, tadpoles and newts. The cat talks back but she only knows 2 phrases. Hungry and take your fecking hands off me.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Not only do I talk to my dog I hold discourse with my Persian cat albeit about the history of greek philosophy only and oh I have rows with the tortoise. Some get out of hand which leaves her shell shocked.

I talk to our cat, guinea pigs and hamster. More so over the last year as I've been home alone when the wife (a teacher) and kids are at school.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Always

 

[atomicloonybin aka ALB]

Yeah. Mostly "stop bloody doing that!" and "what the hell are you eating?".

 

[Oooo]

I see normality has returned to this forum I talk to my cat and she hears every word!

I stopped talking to my guinea pigs, everytime I saw them, they started shouting "dweeb dweeb", how rude.

 

[Ingleby_Flash]

I speak to others peoples dogs

Talk to both cats and the DSH is very chatty back, he has a massive repertoire of chirrups, purrs and meows and we understand each other completely. The BSH rarely chats with me though, she thinks I'm an idiot

 

[Derby_Red]

Absolutely. We have a very sociable dog and a Persian cat which is very chatty. Both speak different lingos, though. Cat needs more comms with the eyes and a lot less rubbing (except under the chin), dog's more into leaning-in and bopping you with the nose, cat much more into nudging you with her bonce. Get shouted at off the cat a lot more, bit more demanding regarding door opening etc. I know my place with the cat, other way round with the dog.

Get more sense out of the pair of them than most humans, tbf

 

[uncle_rico]

Cats are so fickle. Ours is all over you one minute, then won't look at you the next.

I got my dog from the local blacksmith.

When I first took her home she made a bolt for the gate.

Mine can do sums
I asked them what 3 minus 3 was, and they said nothing

You do realise that, post chat, DSH says to BSH "your suspicions are confirmed."

 

[DanBoro4499]

I'd worry about people who don't talk to their dog

 

[Muttley]

Never trust a man who doesn't talk to dogs.
