Title: Talking to Animals
Post by: Stupid Fitz on June 10, 2011, 10:16:29 AM
I have always talked to my animals. I am not even going to ask opinions on if this is ok, (it is). However, sometimes I find myself having a conversation with my dog (he talks back). Anyone else do this?

He is hilarious btw.

Not a racoon but I had a pet squirrel when I was a kid. He did not talk though.

I bet raccoons have a lot to say. Don't get me wrong, my dog is interesting, but how many times can we talk about hating cats and bunnies?

i talk to them. Dont really expect them to talk back. I sometimes take their actions as their response back to me.

Squirrels are a delight to chat with in the mornings.  I get much of the animal gossip on my block this way.

My falcon, Spencer Pratt, and I use non-verbal cues to communicate.

I generally say stuff like: "get the eff back in the house, I don't have time to wait all rough ridin' day" and "I swear to God, I will rough ridin' murder you if you crap in the kitchen again today."  They seem to get the jest of what I'm saying.

read last some dogs have the ability of a 2yr old toddler as far as number of words able to be understood.

Said that some dogs have the capacity of understanding something like 250 wrds.   :surprised:

You know what words raccoons don't understand...."I'm sorry"...They hold grudges like crazy.

My dog and I have conversations all the time.  He's smarter than most humans so it's nice to have an intelligent convo.

My dog understands everything I say.   Sometimes she'll come sit by me while we're watching TV and and I'll say something to the effect of: "Jesus Christ, Oreo, You stink!"  and she'll get all embarrassed and go sit about 5 feet away from me - look back to see if I can still smell her - then possible go upstairs if it's still too stinky.  It's also the only way I can convince her to take a bath...  Telling her she stinks.   She won't follow me up to the tub unless I tell her how I can smell her ass from 5 feet away.  We have other conversations not related to her smell, but that's all I can think of at the moment.  I talk to her all the time though.

Probably did tell him to. Dogs can be very mischevious.
