20 Problems Only Dog Owners Will Understand

3. Talking To Your Dog

The fact is dogs benefit from communication, they like being talked to and they love your company, and you love theirs. However, things can very slowly escalate and before you know it, you€™re going from the standard €˜Good boy€™ and €˜Let€™s go for walkies€™ to having full-blown conversations with your dog about your woes at work and the attractive new friend you want to make a move on, but you€™re unsure how. The big downside is you lose your filter and you end up casually walking down the street chatting away to your dog while passersby look at you like you€™re insane. Not to mention the high pitched voice everyone talks to their dog in.

2. Talking For Your Dog

This is probably the sign you may need a few more people in your life. Dogs are attentive listeners and will judge the conversation based on your mood, apart from that, they have no clue what you€™re talking about and can€™t offer anything to the conversation. So what do you do? You speak for them, and put on a voice no less! Despite how much you may want to, you€™re not living in a Disney movie, your dog has no idea what you€™ve been talking about. You€™re not Aladdin and they€™re not Abu. If anything, you€™re Kristoff and your dog is Sven - it€™s a little outside of nature€™s laws.

Whoever came up with this notion that dogs chase cats clearly never shared a house with these two mortal enemies. Well, we say enemies, the truth is your dog can€™t wait to be friends with your cat, your cat on other hand believes the dog is an idiot and its mere presence offends him. In the cats eyes, he€™s the King, the humans are his staff and the dog is his jester, the village idiot €“ your dog is Hodor to his Joffrey. The only documented case of dogs chasing cats is in a Tom & Jerry cartoon. Your dog will try everything to be friends with the cat, but all the poor mutt will get in return for his love and kindness is a clawed slap across the face.
