Talking to myself

Actually I find I can have a more intelligent conversation with my dogs than most humans. :h

I'm always telling cars at an intersection to "stay"!!

Did that quite often right after my K-9 partner retired. I would start to talk to the back of the car then after a few seconds catch myself. Force of habit and natural...atleast that what I told myself,lol.

do you have any idea how hard it is to find someone educated enough to have a decent conversation with nowadays... Nope your fine I talk to myself and my dogs all the time... and I'm only 49...

I talk to myself all the time. I answer too. It's one way I can be assured of having an intelligent conversation.

We had my mom living with us the last four years of her life. Sometimes I'd walk past her room and hear her apparently on the phone. She'd have these animated, involved conversations in which she would say something and then wait for the "response". She had just the right voice inflections and chuckles and was obviously enjoying the conversation. It sounded so real, sometimes I'd check to see if the phone was IN USE. Often I'd hear her recounting chapters from her life story, some I'd heard over and over and sometimes I hadn't heard them before. It dawned on me that Mom wasn't demented, she was just doing a "life review" and putting it all in order. She knew she did this and told me they were some of her favorite conversations. She died in the hospital at age 93 and up until her last couple of days, was regaling the nurses with stories from her childhood. You can't keep a social person down. She's with Dad in heaven now, filling him in on everything that's happened since he passed.

I will occasionally tell inanimate object to "stay" if they look like they are going to move when I don't want them to.

You can always tell a dog owner in a crowd because they will routinely tell inanimate objects to stay.

When you hear someone ask that same inanimate object "does this spot meet with your satisfaction?", then you've just met a cat's pet.
