Do you do this? My neighbor just got a Lab/Great Dane mix and she baby talks the puppy. I certainly change my voice to something higher than normal to excite them or when they are good. "Yes...you're so good....how'd you get to be so good." But not quite baby talk. Reminds me of a gf who got a new puppy and when she came home after 4-5hrs at school she would make such a big deal about the event of opening the door that her puppy would roll over and piss in the air. Got so bad, the dog would pee every time we opened the door. I love dogs...
The wife does and I just roll my eyes. Spoiled as hell freaking dogs. Spoiled so much they are a hazard if they go to the dog park since they're now so protective of us. Should have bought a guinea pig.
Came to this thread expecting you to have a baby with superpowers that could speak to animals. Left disappointed.
i can't stand baby talk in general. it's like everyone's IQ goes down to Pre-K level when there's a baby in the room.
Srsly. I had an ex who talked to her parents this way on the phone sometimes. It was something I could never come to terms with. That being said, my parents baby talk their dog excessively. Dogs usually respond more to human voice patterns more than individual words themselves, so I guess people just take it to the extreme. The peeing in the air thing is hilarious.
Sadly I do this but not really baby talk - meaning I do change my voice when I see my parents' dogs. The border collie-akita mix that stayed with my ex still goes bonkers when she sees me - always submissively wetting. That dog misses me so much.
I change the tone of my voice when I talk to my dogs, they know the difference between good, and bad.
comeback!!! you must admit...us white people know our comes that we back on...y'all don't always know that...which is yet another reason why I wish I were black.
