Do You Talk to Your Pet?

While I obviously know North can't help me decide what to eat for dinner, I still love the way he cocks his head to the side when I talk to him. Even though I sometimes chat him up, I can't say I have long, one-sided discussions with him . . . unlike Amanda Lorber on the MTV show, The Paper.

Get Flash to see this player.

Don't you think her Westie, Gaby, has the most priceless expressions?! It's almost like the pooch is actually listening . . . but still, doesn't really care what's being said. However, it turns out she was actually speaking to her dog in order to not appear to be addressing the camera:

"I was always very hyperaware of the cameras being there," Lorber said. "I don't really talk to my dog all that much, that's so that I'm not looking directly at the camera. I didn't want to look like I was talking to myself, so we figured out I could talk to my dog."

How about you – do you chat it up with your pet even if no cameras are rolling?

    I work from home and am alone all day long so I talk to B-Bop a lot. He stares at me when I talk so I think he's listening Smiling I'm probably just confusing him really haha

    I talk to the girls a lot but I don't have long conversations with them. But I do ask them questions knowing that they will not answer me. LOL

    My cats frequently help me to make creative decisions. Adam especially. Tak to some degree. Frankeh & Samantha - not so much.

    I talk to all my guys, but my dogs more than the cats. I especially talk to the puppy (okay, he's 12 months...technically an adult) because he seems to get a kick out of the attention.

    I talk to my cat all the time. I don't have super long conversations with him, but I do talk to him. My cat know when I'm talking about him, food, getting brushed, or if he did something bad, haha.

    I don't often have a diatribe, but I do talk to my dog. Usually it's just telling him how great he is Smiling

    I have a habit of singing to my cats -- taking the lyrics of actual songs and tweaking them to make the song about my cats. They think I'm insane.

    All the time, and sometimes some of them talk back. My late Punkin and her adopted brother used to love having conversations with us -- they'd even start them sometimes.
