I know that there are lots of animal lovers in the OT Lounge, with dogs being especially popular.

That said, let me take a big risk by asking this: Do you find it annoying when your spouse makes conversation with pets? My wife (no pics) makes a habit of chatting with our cat regularly, and sometimes uses voices.

It gets to be a bit much. Is anyone else irked by this, or something similar?

Divorce is obviously your only option.

I definitely do not think you should talk to your spouse.

I talk to my plants. It helps them thrive. It's science.

I would think you're a complete weirdo if you don't talk to your pets

Start using a similar voice with her. I don't know what it would accomplish, I just want to know what happens.

My wife has a small dog that she calls a "spiteful b-word" all the time because she doesnt listen.

That's all I got.

My son and his roommates have a deaf dog that lives with them.....I went to vist last week and started talking to the dog and they all laughed at me, I didnt know he deaf....

They told me he was deaf and I was like...."what the frick is the use in having a deaf dog"?

Its pretty normal. I will say I do find it annoying when someone makes demands of a dog that isn't trained to those commands and expects them to know wtf they want it to do.

I agree with this. In my household, the dog is the only who will listen to me. I'd like to believe his sympathetic to my plight.

No you don’t. You talk to your dog and he wags his tale just because he’s getting attention. He has no idea what the hell you’re saying. Kinda like talking to a woman

her only other option is talking to you. the preferable choice is obvious.
