People telling you what their dogs are ‘saying’

[chestylarue52]

Lighthearted thread but still, I think I have unreasonable levels of anger about this

Most recent example being by a lake relaxing with friends when couple with three dogs come along, we are chatting to the woman of the couple while the dogs are jumping in the lake, playing with their toys etc.

Man of the couple is providing loud commentary of what the dogs are doing by means of

“Oooo he says! He says, Mum it’s cold in here!! Ooo I’m getting out now, he says, where’s that ball, he says!”

“I didn’t expect it to be that cold he says!!”

I know IABU but I wanted to drown him

chestylarue52 I'm totally with you on the what people do/believe/etc

But hadn't this given you a fun post and now you are certain dog people are actually nuts, I think the (alomost drowned) man did you a favour in his defence you can sleep well tonight without fear of being unreasonable or judgemental as more than one of us have confirmed and admitted we are nuts! You are welcome hahaha

I don’t think I ever encountered such unreasonableness in my life! My dog and cat both talk to me! Each has their own voice and personality, with the cat more often than not responding with “no. Fuck you”. The funniest is when they get into an argument with my partner or son - the argument is very real, so convincing are the animals personalities. Bring back Jonny Morris I say!!

with the cat more often than not responding with “no. Fuck you”.

Me and DD2 text each other, and pretend to DD3 that it's the cat asking us to get DD3 to stop poking her.

Don’t get me wrong I spend hours talking to my cat. We live together just the two of us so she’s good company.

It’s just, she doesn’t talk back.

Because, you know. She’s a cat.

This is my grumpy dog in the morning also untill at least 9am... Do you want wees baby boy.....no fuck you.

she is responding probably with fuck you like Theycouldhavechoseneve cat but hey it's still a response, this is probably the best post, I've come across all us cat and dog people finally getting along!

We do it with our dog he is slightly skittish so we comentate his life woes , but I would never do it outside in front of people

Love it crazy! Some right pearlers on here

Mrsjayy you need to just to see the look on someone's face! Just once !

Safe to say us animal lovers are utterly crazy dog/cat /birds whatever our choice

we do love our pets,/companions/ pals / in my case babies ( actually call them my fur kids I can't have conventional normal two legged human kids) well done OP you achieved something here today claps

I couldn't because he talks like Jim from Vicar of Dibley

" She’s a cat."

Maybe it's not her. Maybe it's you?

Cats can be picky conversationalists TBF. SaucyCat likes to complain about the weather, or furry girl problems- but she doesn't take an interest in the World Cup or what anybody other than her is having for dinner (unless it's chicken obv.)

This is off post but to Crazy’s lovely comment about fur babies, if you want your heart warmed look up Monty the cat on Facebook and Instagram

I know what my dog is saying/thinking. I don't think it's strange it's just living with him and understanding him.

I think he is telepathic though. I walk him at different times of the day, can be anywhere from 6am to late morning for his first walk depending on what I'm doing. No set pattern. If I'm sitting there in my pj's thinking that I will take him out he will go and sit by the back door.

😂 you’d HATE to ride out with me

🏇🏼: ‘Hello pheasant feeder, I know in all probability you pose us no risk at all but don’t be offended if I go sideways past you on my back legs. My motto is always you can’t be too careful!’
Me (once all feet back on the ground): ‘good boooooy well done super’
Our companions: 🙄

DH is a vet, he does to clients animals!
Seems to go down well, mostly.
One of my cats has a terrible potty mouth, swears like a trooper, though not in front of the kids. The other is quite posh. One of the dogs sounds very stupid (she is).
However I don't think either of us have done it to random strangers we've just bumped into.

You're an owner, you are not a mum or dad to a cat or dog

I just sent a picture of my dog doing something sweet to my mum and I wrote 'look at me Nanny, looking adorable'.

My dogs have a mum, dad, auntie and a nanny.

OP in the grand scheme of things it's as harmless as a melting ice-cream - to you a tad annoying, but if you can get in the spirit (like chasing the ice-cream around the cone with your tongue) it can be an absolute hoot

Off to give my menagerie's voices some accents

I generally commentate my collie's eating as if she's having a meal at a posh restaurant, but only because she's such a strange dog with her food. She starts by picking up a single kibble (don't ask how she manages it from a bowl of kibble, but she does) and chews it thoughtfully, while looking around the room and then waits a while before starting to eat. The conversation with myself on her behalf generally goes like so: "So, madam... the house kibble is to your liking? would you like to order a bottle?" "Hmmm... I'm not sure... yes, I think it will be fine."
She also eats her food at a leisurely pace and has been known to walk off halfway through her meal to have a sniff round and then go back a couple of minutes later to finish! So I'll generally switch to her making comments about other diners in the restaurant she's in.
However, this is only ever done either at home or in the company of my close friend who has known her from being a puppy.

It's happened with visitors to the house. The cat despite being a bitch does sit on absolutely anyone’s knee. Son normally gives me a sharp “mum you look deranged” look, but I’d never silence the cat. The dog who is a good girl has been poorly influenced by the cat now. Dog has taken to calling my partner by his name rather than “dad” now and again and exaggerating the pronunciation to wind him up

Love it.

We voice our cats. Me DH and the 3 adult DDs. The cats swing between Egyptian accents (on account of the fact that cats originate there? ... ?) lapsing into thick French accents. ''Let me seeeet 'ear next to you''.

We wouldn't do it in public ear shot, however i must say - 2 of the grown up DDs have long term boyfriends. Both of the BFs now speak for their own cats in French/Egyptian as second nature when in their own home now

Of course we’re mums and dads to our pets! Though walking my dog in the woods once, she took a little girl by surprise and the mum said “it’s ok, she’s just catching up with her mum and dad”. The little girl replied “but they’re not dogs?”
