I was thinking about it and I sound like a nut job when I leave the house. I'm talking to my dog and I'm like "Be a good puppy! Not a doo doo caca poop face! Because good doggies get da bone da bones and bad doggies do NOT!" wtf is wrong with me?

did you seriously post the same thing in the lounge and pre-vet?

I'm pretty sure I sound like a nut job too. I find each dog, give each a couple kisses on the forehead, tell them to be good boys, tell them I love them and then leave.

I think you should start telling your husband to "be a good boy" when you leave.... 😛

I may or may not tell the cats and the husband to be good before I leave each day.

My dog is deaf so I can hide the crazy.

At least you're not turning into the crazy guinea pig lady like I am. They're getting so spoiled. I just spent $80 on new fleeces for bedding and they eat healthier than I do. I also talk to them in a similar voice and tell them to be "good pig pigs"
I may or may not be one of those over the top owners that I make fun of...![]()
I would have made fun of how I was leaving my dog at work to go home with someone while I went to an interview, so not just you...
sometimes I realize I'm talking to my dog while we're out walking (generally just things like, "no, don't eat that" or "stop sniffing every blade of grass", but sometimes more), but then I realize I must seem like a bit of a loony-bin case to people we pass (which, thankfully, isn't too many).

once i told her to walk like she actually wanted the walk because i didn't really want to be out and a guy ahead of me turned and offered to walk her for me

Not everyone does this?? 😎
My husband is worse than I am. When he bathes the dogs he literally has a complete conversation with them (he uses his normal voice for himself and uses a voice he thinks the dogs would have if they could talk for the responses) ... and he sings to them ...![]()

one of our doctors sings pretty frequently to patients. mainly back in treatment, but from time to time in exam rooms with owners. sometimes it's real songs and sometimes she just makes up like "anal gland abscess song" or "nasty hot spot song."
Pup just dropped her cow hoof on the floor and is looking at me like, 'why aren't you getting it for me?' with the very sad eyes and little whines. Not my fault you pushed it off the edge of the couch.

I sing to widgy cats during blood draws. Nonsensical stuff like "it's happy kitty pretty kitty little kitty"
I just talk to them lots. (No one wants to hear me try to sing.) Didn't realize that the vet could actually hear me once until she laughed at me for basically describing my dinner from the night before to a beagle and telling him what parts he'd like (all of it) and what he wouldn't (the plate, the fork, etc.).



i find that the soft kitty song is particularly good for upset kitties and blood draws

This reminded me of devyn in particular.

)So thought this was kind of interesting: http://glennrowe.net/BaronCohen/EmpathyQuotient/EmpathyQuotient.aspx
It's a test for how empathetic you are. I am very very curious how people on here test if anyone wants to share. I scored pretty low (like one point above aspergers low...) And I'm INTJ on the whole meyer's briggs business. Seeing as how many of us are that, I'm curious if this corresponds to that at all.
I got a 43.... maybe I should "strongly agree" more instead of "slightly agree". I tend to think too much when I take these... too many gray areas with some of these statements for me to "strongly" agree or disagree.
