When I used to take my dog for a walk I would always talk to her. There are times when I was talking to her and people would walk by and thought I was talking to them and would tell them I was talking to my dog. They would either smile or look funny.

Not everyone understands that it is perfectly normal to talk to pets!

@JudyEv Judy, you are so right. People that have animals and respect them understand.

@m_audrey6788 I love talking to my animals. I find them to be such good listeners.

@lologirl2021 You are so right and the animals know we respect them and value them.

@Hannihar Some people think it's weird to talk to animals but apparently it's healthy for some animals to hear their owners. They may not always understand but it's still interaction. I talk to my cat and dog all the time. I give them compliments even though they have no idea what I am saying. Also tell them that I love them a lot.

@VivaLaDani13 I believe Sophie understands me when I talk to her. Those that do not have animals or understand why others do do find it weird when we talk to ours.

Hahaha I talk to my dog all the time! He likes me talking to him! If he's unsettled for any reason if I talk to him he'll come and sit next to me and calm down.

@Essjayd That is so so special and I believe your dog loves that and knows how much you care.

@Hannihar He definitely likes it! He has no idea what I'm saying he just likes the fact I'm talking to him
