Does your dog have a voice?

Ours does, with lots of his own words for things:

Wantings - anything edible (inc chocolate, see my other thread from today)
Catses (usually ‘them greeeedy catses’)
Mummmaaayyy - me
Florig and Alig (his human sisters)
I’m feeling sickened - if he has vomited (ditto see earlier thread)
Long - a strange, draggy, leopard crawl he does when he’s happy)
I’m feeling funny - he thinks something is funny

He has a gruff little voice and the whole family sounds like they have multiple personality disorder. Youngest DD tells him all sorts of fibs to his questions.

Tell me yours!

Our dog is an absolute potty mouth and really abusive to me and my husband after the kids are in bed

Makes me think of Brian in Family Guy 🤣🤣

Yes!

Different whines for different things.
Different growl like noises for different things.

I love him he's so funny

Mine tends to use very similar words, but in different locations.

He was very shouty last night all around the house, which is unusual. It turned out his water bowl was empty- this rarely happens so we hadn't worked out the code for that one!

There's the bossy assertive 'stop walking past my house!'
Excited alert 'He's home, mum, mum he's almost here, mum he's at the door!'
Alarmed alert 'door! Door! Might be a postman! Door! Quick!'
Indignant warning shouts 'creature on tv, make it go, now!'
There's a bouncy growling enthusiasm 'we're hungry mum, aren't we, what shall we have? Shall we have it now? Shall we?'

My personal favourite is barking anxiously behind the sofa. Some fool always gets up to investigate, and promptly loses their seat to him. This can even happen in the middle of the night, when he wants a better spot on the bed!

Mine is a potty mouth too
Her grammar isn't very good though
She says things like 'I is bein' likin' dis cheeyus (I like this cheese)
She only talks in present tense
She's a bit of an evil genius

We don't even have a dog, but DH and I spend hours talking in the voice of our hypothetical pet Rottweiler Moishe, who has an East End accent. I'm reading that back and realising how bonkers it sounds.

My dog has a voice... a low , rasping voice. I actually speak for him.
It's utterly stupid, I know, but it humours us.

Inpersuitofhappiness · 23/12/2020 21:04

My dog is Irish and outraged at everything. He knows the disparity between how he and his human sister are treated.
He swings between thinking I am an absolute cunt and a Saint.

I am his favourite.

He puts up with DH for walks, someone has to pick up his shit. I am for comfort and conversation.

His sister gives a good hug, and he's fiercely over protective, but is jealous of her.

My dog is a cross between Shaggy and Scooby Doo and is always very hungry!

Bunnyfuller · 23/12/2020 22:06

Loving these!

Keep them coming (think my fave is voicing the imaginary dog!)

Oh yes our dog has a voice, he’s a terrible swearer. It brings me endless entertainment. I sometimes forget my sons friends are listening in via the PlayStation!

Nottherealslimshady · 23/12/2020 22:11

We talk for her but we say "she says...."
She's quite good at being vocal for herself though Grin

FlippinNoah · 23/12/2020 22:34

My cats have voices. Their accents change according to the weather/time of day/their moods but on the whole they talk in Cockney (strange, as they are Northern cats). They are very talkative, nosey, cheeky and backchat A LOT!

Ok, so me and my youngest DD may be their 'voices' but what we say is DEFINITELY what they would say if they could. You can just tell!

VetiverAndLavender · 23/12/2020 22:42

Our dogs frequently "wants a treat", among other thing. (They also wants to go outside. Wants to go a walk. Wants to play/fesh (fetch) a toy. Wants to pet the puppy-- i.e. be petted. They don't give a fig for proper grammar.)

They "go the box" (crate) when they "wants a Puppy Supper". They give "kishes", etc., and at the end of a long day, they "wants to go night-night".

It would probably be fairly nauseating to any outsiders, so they're careful to speak only when we're alone. Grin

My dog is Sarah Milican! Proper high pitched Geordie.

Backfired when my 7 year old daughter told our geordie neighbour that our dog has the same voice as him! Blush
