I talk to my dog

Do you talk to your pet? I certainly do. I found myself treating him like a child, friend and a confidant all rolled up in one.
Their love is unconditional, they will never tell your secrets and you can say
things to them that you would never ever say to another human being.
They keep you company when you are lonely, they comfort you when you are sad. They rejoice with you when you are happy and snuggle with you at night.
I think pets are one of the best things we can have in life. What about you?

Of course I talked to her! I talked to her more than some family members!!!
And, for the record, I talk to the squirrels, too.

Animals don't want a silent world. I thank my hens when I take their eggs. I thank them for giving me protein. All the fur kids here have some form of intelligence. I refuse to treat them like they are sub par on brains. The cats each know their names, for instance. We've shared life with Rufus pup for about 7 months now. He has learned so much! "down", "back" shake hands, in, wait. On and on. He teaches me something most every day, too. Life is a give and take routine for all of us.

Dogs are the most loyal of creatures
We are not allowed pets here but we raised dogs when I was a kid at my house

@RebeccasFarm You appear to be the person who needs a cuddly cat at least. I'm sorry you can't have one.

Of course I talk to my pets both cats and dog. If you talk to them they respond to your commands better.

@aninditasen I believe if you talk to them they feel loved, especially when you use a gentle tone of voice.

@HazySue That's right and that's how they start loving you and respond to you commands.

@prashu228 They are good to talk to. They can't tell anyone your secrets.

Well, yes, I talk to my fishies all the time.... they think I'm going to feed them so swarm around the top of the tank while I talk with them...
But, I also tell people that Pretty, my 33 year old daughter, is my pet, too... And yes, I talk to her... and once in a while she even listens and responds to what I say...

@LindaOHio Yes! He talked to me, and he sang a happy song on sunny mornings. He's actually a part of me now.
