Hm, so I apparently am in a postin' mood today! But, I have a good reason for this one, the third post today...
I was reading a blog, I cannot remember where, I read too many blogs, the other day and in this post the writer said something about she thought it was strange when people talk to dogs/cats/animals. Seriously? If it's strange to talk to animals then I must be way cracked-up crazy. So, my question, do you talk to animals? Any animals, anyone's animals, etc.? I want to know!
For as long as I can remember I have talked to animals...and no they do not talk back, unless I've had way too much to drink. I remember talking to our dachshund, Holly, when I was little, I even talk to animals I don't know. And not usually just a "hi", but I carry on convos with them, ie "hey puppy, how are you?", "hello, are you a nice doggy...can I pet you?", "hi, what's your name?", etc.
Case in point, on our honeymoon, over 8 years ago btw, we went to Cancun. We went to this great place with animals and even within' our little all inclusive place there were animals there too. I saw a gorgeous parrot and I went up to it and said "hello" in that annoying bird voice, I know you know what I mean. Anywho, this bird spoke back...and it just cracked me up and you can tell it made an impression since I remember it so long after...this very pretty mulitcolored bird clearly and loudly said "HOLA" back. OMG, I snorted I was laughing so hard. I guess I forgot that I was in Mexico and they don't speak English there...why would the birds?
And finally with our Hopie-shmopie, she ran down the stairs and just looked at me sitting on the couch, laptop on lap, men's gymnastics on the tube. So, I promptly peered around my laptop and said "hello Hopie-shmopie, whatchoo doin', huh?" She cocked her head at me and sighed I swear it. I think she would if she could say back to me "bitch, I can't carry on a convo, so shut the hell up". After her heavy sigh, she pranced off to get some water then immediately started lickin' her hoo-hoo. Really, if that's all she's about, it wouldn't be so dammed bad.
