3. I empathize talk for them. It is usually the same exact conversation

"You're silly mom" "I'm not a lap cat". I have no idea what they are really thinking but i'm pretty concrete like they are.

4. I had to argue to get my wife to let me bring sardines into the house, not even the cat ...

... would back me up - HATES fish, any kind.

So when she's gone for a day I'll sometimes a broil up an open-face sardine sandwich with mustard. And pretend I'm in charge.

My wife is good. She just has a missionary inside her trying to turn the heathen inside me into a Sunday school teacher: one who abjures the gustation of sardines.

But she does like steak rare and a glass of red wine. She's a keeper.

5. I talk to mine as if they were human.

I use big words! and complete sentences. I love having one way conversations with my dogs. Turns out one way conversations with Scout and Alexander are far more interesting than with humans. Example: “Scout, why are you doing that? You are a blithering idiot.” She is not in the least offended. 🤗
