I talk to my granddogs and even the grand cat. Spike the cat just looks at the phone and his mom like she is nuts but the dogs whine . I lived with my DD for 8 yrs and trained them so they know my voice.

OH yes. Our daughter leaves her Malmute Husky, Yukon with
us when she works a long day. When she comes to pick him up
he always says, ( I want to go home) He talks lots to us. Of
course we have to know dog speaking. I know we are foolish
but he is a smart doggie and so good. He also loves out cats
although he could really give them trouble.

Animals (dogs and Cats) are much smarter than we give them
credit for. Most folks have them but don't spend enough time
with them.

Who else admits to talking to their pets on the telephone?

Any funny stories?
Yes, I do when whoever is pet sitting is willing to turn on the speaker phone and allow the dogs to listen. I know it is weird to so people, but I see it no different than if i'm talking to one of my kids or grandchildren.

For the past couple of years I've been babysitting my son's akita (Bandit). I let him talk to his baby one time and then told him never again. For about 2 weeks after the call the dog was like a terrible twos child; into everything which was totally against his character. We were so happy when he mellowed out so he has to wait until May when my son gets home to talk to him.

I just came home yesterday from a two week stay in the hospital, and I talked to my little Chuey every day tht I could. She recognized my voice, and just made me feel closer to home

I'm glad you're back. I hope everything goes well for you. Two weeks is a long time.

I will admit that I do and I don't feel ashamed of it either. My husband puts the phone to his ear and asked him if he wants to speak to mommy. He is a Boston terrier so he just kind of grunts and makes snorting noises, but it is cute.
