People pretending to speak for their pets

[Catherine]

Quote:I think the connection isn't really about making up "voices" for them. It's a heart-to-heart language isn't it? It's beyond words.

It is definitely beyond words. We communicate heart to heart. In the piggies case, heart to stomach.  

I did not make the connection that you first thought Misty was a Viszla. Of course you would think of her "voice" in a certain way.
Even when you realized she was a mixed breed, you would still keep your first impression. When you wrote Misty into a story, you would keep a certain voice. It is an interesting idea writing a story with a pet in it.

Imagining our pets speaking in a certain way is one thing. We do have a sense of who they are and how they would sound.  It seems that some people actually speak out loud carrying on the pets side of a conversation out loud. I can't picture ever doing that.
