Pet Lovers

[AngylBelle]

How many of you pet lovers are criticized for treating your animal(s) like your baby/child? I get such a kick out of the looks people give me when I have conversations with my dog, in what sometimes comes off in a baby voice...haha!

i thought about this but im around animal lovers,even our vets seem to chat "pet speak"with our pets. i guess its the type of people maybe... usually,their not as crazy about animals maybe???

All animals Love it when you talk baby talk to them!!!

i talk to my pet. I think it's fun, especially when there's no one else to talk to.

Yes, this use to be embarassing. But now I have a human baby and the animals don't get the same attention.

I most certainly have been acused of this more than once, but they are out babies in my opinion.

I'm a college student meaning I'm alone a lot. I'm alone when I wake up, on my days off of school, and sometimes after school. To ease the loneliness a bit I talk to my cat. I don't see anything strange about it at all. ^^

Oh yes, I have definitely been critisized more than once for this. All of my "kids" and I have conversations. They love it & it honestly does make them smarter in their own way. Plus they tend to trust you more. How can you not love them as a child? One look & that's all it takes to fall in love

Sometimes it does seem like your pet can understand you.

Yes it does In fact, I have a cute story to back that up. The other day I had a family member over at my house. One of my cats, Sugar, was looking at them. They said, "Hey Sugar" and she walked towards them. Then she said, "I don't want nothin' to do with ya." (jokingly) Sugar turned her head in a "full of attitude" kind of way and walked back towards me

I think pets are smarter than what people give them credit for sometimes

I agree whole-heartedly! Especially cats because they make you earn their affection. Although I love the look in my dogs eyes when I talk to him and he [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] his head back and forth as if processing what I am saying before going and doing/getting what I ask.

My dogs, all six of them, sleep with us. They all eat holistic food (human grade Solid Gold or Canidae dry food) Then I cook them wet food to mix in or when I am lazy I buy Solid Gold can food or Evangers "Buffalo" or Turkey and sweet potatoes.

The short haired one has sweaters and a top coat.

We proabaly shouldn't have but they are all allowed on the furniture!


My parents did not want to leave thier dog in a boarding place so they bought a giant RV to travel with!

Exactly! My dog Angel does the same thing that yours does. I think it's adorable. It's as if they're saying to you, "Hang on a second, I'm just thinking first."

I know this is somewhat off topic, but you & I should go rounds. I see that you have Brett Favre as your avatar. I'm a Minnesota Vikings fanatic What's the matter with you? Just kidding hon.
