My dog obviously can’t talk but he has a bell by the back door that he rings when he needs/wants to go outside.
Sometimes he’ll ring it just to go lay out in the sun or chase lizards or bark at crows, sometimes he rings it bc he wants a treat, then he’ll ring it bc he really needs to shite and piss.
I can tell what he wants by the aggressive manner in which he rings it.

I ask my dog if he’d like to walk or run or go for a ride. He always answers Yes!

I used to talk to my cat but he insisted on dominating the conversation. He’s so controlling!!

I constantly talk to my dogs.
They have yet to talk back.

Our cats both hang around with us in the den. When bed time comes. I tell them, "It's bedtime" and they go to the bedroom. It seems inconsiderate to not tell them.
When I feed them their canned cat food for supper, I ask Misty (Cat) to show me where the canned food is and she goes straight to the laundry room, where we keep it. We put a half sheet of newspaper on the floor and their plates on top of it. I ask Misty where the tablecloth is, and she goes right to the stack of papers under the counter and paws them. I put the sheet on the floor, and she goes and stands on her end of the paper. Bit (the other cat, takes the opposite end.
They are smarter than lots of people I know.
When We had Pete (Big yellow lab) I could say, "Pete, want to go for a ride?" and he would run and stand at the back tail gate of the truck and not move until I dropped the tailgate. Sadly I was never able to teach him how to open it.

I don’t trust a person who doesn't speak in a high pitch excited voice to their pets.

I'm almost imagining if there are people out there who decided to adopt a pet and don't talk to them.

Grease is definitely in our dogs' lexicon.

My dog understands many words and I talk to him daily.
True Story
X wife said I treated the dog better than I did her
My response: He's more loyal than you

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.
My wife would never do that, and if she was that type, we wouldn't be married. You're in a bind, bro.

You are the weirdo that doesn't talk to your pets. Why have them if they aren't companions?

Fun fact - cats only mewl/meow as kittens to get their needs met by their mother. They have evolved to meow as a way to communicate with humans. There is no other biological reason for a cats meow other than communicating with humans.

Worse than someone talking to their dog in relative private is the person that talks to the dog (or sometimes it's to a baby) loudly in public while they look at you for a reaction.

Depending on how much whiskey I drink, I'm pretty sure there's times my Golden understands me and I understand her. We have conversations often!

kitten = "meal" "meal"
cat = "NOW" "NOW"
What your cat is really saying when you hear "meow"

Depends on the tone and her body language. When I come inside from the patio, she frequently meows loudly and abruptly 2-3 times in a row. That means, “Bitch. You went outside without me.” Other times, she sits in front of me and gives me a longer, mewling meow that means, “You haven’t fed me enough today and even though I’m grossly obese I’m wasting away.”
