CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

She really has Mike....it is funny how she positions herself in the house as Joyce and I move about, she has to track us both and isn't comfortable unless we are both in the same room and then she has to lay where she can see both of us....I haven't been so monitored since I was in elementary school.....

gabby is just working at keeping both of you in sight and safe. wait till she starts nipping your heel to get you to go where she wants you. jj has been known to poke the back of my leg when she is herding me to the house. miss gabby just gets prettier every day. and no I don't think your crazy for talking to the animals like you do. thank heaven no one follows me around and listens to how I talk to every one of my critters. they would have me locked up in a soft fluffy room i'm sure.

Thanks @goatgurl ....I didn't figure that I was the only one in this vast crowd to talk to the animals..........and I will say that I wasn't blessed with an announcer's voice, but the animals haven't complained one time....in fact they look forward to it everytime I'm around them and even talk back....especially the ducks, goats and Gabbie....Gabbie is a talker and and is developing quite the array of sounds....and she will talk in her sleep, too.....guess she is dreaming or something, but it is really sweet. I've always liked animals to talked and responded to spoken words......makes it easy to carry on a conversation with them and ya can play with them with different attitudes and come-backs that ya don't have to worry about it haunting ya.....cause they sure ain't telling whomever it is that ya maybe referring to....and they take a joke pretty good too....

I talk to my animals too though I don't THINK I change my voice. ALL the chickens talk up a storm when I go down to the barn. I'm pretty sure they are saying "FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Some of them will talk back if I speak to them individually. The alpacas only talk to each other.

I talk to the cats too, though talking to Samantha is more of a habit, she seems pretty deaf now other than high pitch sounds. The cats don't particularly converse with us. Rascal will say mau if I ask her if she wants some ham, I call her "lunch cat". If there are "extras" at other times, she is also "breakfast cat" and "dinner cat". Christofur has the same names, with Jr appended. He'll walk around yowling day or night but he isn't talking to us nor does he respond when we tell him to cut it out. But he hears just fine. Checkers has a specific meow when he wants to eat. Neither he nor Samantha are interested in people food.

The only cat we have that'll talk with us is Callie the inside cat, she has no problem letting us know she needs assistance with either scooping litter or she wishes ya to stand guard and keep her company while she eats a few nuggets of her dry food. She doesn't like any human food except for pork tenderloin....when she smells it she demands at least 2-3 small chunks of it and that is all she wants of it.....
The outside cats don't talk back, but can sure understand what we are saying and will respond accordingly.

I talk to all my animals. They talk back too, if you listen.

I’ve always talked to all of my animals. I’ve had almost every species cooperate better for me because I take my time and talk to them instead of just taking charge. My favorite is when the make a sound at the right time like it’s a conversation or they stare at you intently like they are enthralled. I know my voice has inflection to reflect my mood.

This morning Joyce had to go to town early, so I took Gabbie with me to feed the goats....I told her to sit, stay, and wait by the gate as I went in to feed them....there isn't a gate on the side of their pen, but just look who tried to stretch the gate.... ....somehow what works inside doesn't translate to outside, so we are working on that....but, in her defense, this is the very first time I have tried it with her under these circumstances. I had a talk with her, but was proud that she didn't run off not being tied up....she was concerned for me and didn't like being separated....

I got a short video of some of our daily chatter around here, Comet always speaks up at feeding time......

I'll try to catch some more on this talking issue....

Here are more of our talking animals....

They are camera shy, and there is something out of routine here....so they are telling me about it.....
