I've noticed this type of ungrammatical speech to pets, I did it.

It was fascinating to me to observe my 45 year old brother, who is developmentally disabled (approx. 3rd grade level) speak this way to my mother's puppies.

😳🤪

(He never talks that way any other time.)

I find talking in a regular voice to the dog gets it to listen more closely to me.

Have you tried convincing a TV crew to follow him around as some sort of animal whisperer type of psychic?

My birds talk back which is pretty great. It's always funny to have them respond during a conversation. Sometimes it even makes sense.

I had a male cockateil when I was really young and if you whistled at him he would begin the competition

Later we got two female ones and if you whistle at them they listen attentively

I do this with both my dogs. Sometimes you need to talk to someone who doesn’t talk back.

just be careful what you share with your pets though, they understand everything and will be silently judging you behind your back

I both talk to my dog and voice his reply based on how he reacts. Usually most conversations involve him telling me that he's a very good boy and deserves treats. He's right.

I like to ask my cats what they did with their days. Like, "how was the SLEEPING and POOPING you guys did all day while I was WORKING FOR A LIVING?"

Usually pair this up with mean names I call them like "Chicken McBitch" or "shitcat"

I tell Cat #1 he's the best cat in the world, and then I tell Cat #2 he's the best cat in the world. So far, neither one of them has noticed the logical impossibility of both statements being true. :laugh:

My female gets a slightly haughty Southern drawl while my male sounds like a bored surly teenager.

one of our dogs is the best dog in the world, and our other dog is also here

we don't treat them differently, because that would be messed up, but it is as agreed upon and understood as it is unspoken

They ask if she has to go outside, but that doesn't count. Other than that she just exists in their house. Mostly she just sleeps underneath their couch where none of the many grandkids can shoot nerf darts at her.


When she needs to be groomed we bring her up to our house to see our groomer, and she gets treated like a real pet. We should really just adopt her outright.












Like who wouldn't love this dog? It's tragic.

See I don’t even think developmentally disabled is an accurate medical term either. It’s just another more pc term for retarded or Down’s syndrome. Because occasionally in the gene swarm you have overlapping similar dna in partners, even if it’s not direct inbreeding sometimes. And you get gain in the chromosomes and you get a virtual 24th chromosome, as if you are born with a genetic target to the first epoch in the galaxy to the south. It happens so if there is too sparse of populations that the gene swarm stays targeted toward human evolution to the south and not regress to herding animals. There is no pupal stage in animals in the galaxy to the south, things don’t go through metamorphosis or puberty, they are all adults from birth. Similarly what medicine calls Down’s syndrome :airquote: is actually an advanced evolutionary target that produces an emotionally mature ADULT from birth, not a child. The reason most people don’t develop logical capacity is because there is not enough gravity in our galaxy to develop the meridian in the brain, less than -10m/s^2. Nevertheless they are emotionally mature socially developing adults, capable of taking care of others from a young age and their own children with sexual maturity.
