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. My husband gets a quick kiss and a "love you, bye!" as I run out the door
did you seriously post the same thing in the lounge and pre-vet?

Yup. Pretty common occurrence so that the thought can be shared with people that don't post in both places.....
I do this with my kitten.

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.

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"
did you seriously just notice that Abney does this?
Yes.
My dog is deaf so I can hide the crazy.
i'm the crazy GP girl and a crazy dog girl. i talk to Penny ALL the time (and now I talk to her over skype). I tell her to behave while I'm out as if she could do harm from inside her cage (in addition to the be good, i'll be back, i love you, etc.). lucy gets the same spiel, but she seems to get into mischief way more than the pig 😉
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).
I am sooooo glad I am not the only one!!
I do the same. But it's stupid crap like "hurry up doodle butt!" Or "you're such a piddly piddler"

i talk to my dog on walks all the time - i actually hope it encourages the locals to leave the "crazy" person alone
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 
I can't decide whether this is a rave or not...I just got a call from the bookstore I applied to for a summer job, and they want to set up an interview! But since I'm nowhere near there until I graduate in May, and actually probably not until June because of my Asiadventure, I couldn't set up an interview. So they'll probably actually fill the position before I'd be able to come be interviewed. Yay that they want to interview me...but man it's hard applying for jobs when you're in a different state.
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 ...

Not everyone has both sides of a conversation with their pets? 😏

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."
If an animal has a name that has a song associated with it, I sing it to them. My favorite is a cocker named hero. Lots of good songs!

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 talk to animals giving them sympathy. When my older cat is upset with kitten and pup, I tell her "You are sooo patient and kind to put up with these two. They have no sophistication and are just so boisterous. What a kind and forgiving princess you are. Such a nice kitty"
Or with a stressed out patient. "Life is so tough, you are such a good pup/kitty. You need a vacation."
I have conversations with my husky. Often times she'll answer back with that classic husky howl, so we'll go back and forth.
"Hi, Lola! How was your day?"
"WooOOoo!"
"Oh, that sounds exciting, do go on!"
"Woo! Woo!"
"Well that's spiffy. Do you want to go for a walk?"
"WoooOOOoo!" *tail wags*
She's a sassy girl, always has to have the final say in our discussions

i find that the soft kitty song is particularly good for upset kitties and blood draws
You have no idea how much money has sunk into my ferret's living quarters/food/toys/whatever. I really actually don't even want to know how much, haha. And I keep seeing ferret nation cages for cheap on craigslist and thinking about how I could make their cage double-wide...
Oh and I totally talk to them constantly. Do people not talk to their animals? That seems weird to me.
I used to always tell my horse what a brave boy he was when he didn't want to walk past a tarp or something.
This reminded me of devyn in particular.

i imagine this exactly what my dinosaurs look like. the ones that are currently peeing in my pool.
(to clarify, my apartment complex has been building a pool very slowly this semester and finally started putting water in it the other day. the problem? the water is concentrated pee yellow. since there is a decent volume of pee water in the pool, i decided that the animal responsible was a dinosaur, or perhaps a stampede of elephants. the pool is still pee yellow, the dinosaurs have been enjoying way too much rum on their grenadian vacation!

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 50.. Slightly above average for women.
I got a 62. The upper end of the above average range lol
I got 47 so right at the average for women. Although, I do space out on half of the questions when I do these types of quizzes.
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.
👍
I tend to be conservative and park the bus in the middle for those sorts of questions.
I got 42, which is right around average for men.
wow I got a 38. 😱
31 🙁 Explains a lot. Makes me hate life even more now.
