Yeah, I carry on conversations with all of our animals, but mostly the cats. They pay far more attention to me than cows or horses.
Some of the cats, Tigger in particular, will yeow at me and go to the porch, so I walk out there and ask him what he wants. (Hey, could be the old sourpuss, Puma, is blocked access to the food dish.) He looks back at me, walks to the door, stands on his hind legs and puts both hands on the door knob, then looks back over his shoulder... Mrow! (I think that is cat for "open the damn door").
Wifey (Lannie, you just heard from her above) watches all that Animal Planet stuff whenever Dish chooses to let us see it, but I don't do TV in the daytime and night is for DVDs or news programs. If there is something important that Jackson said, she will tell me about it. She used to watch that Dog Whisperer guy a lot too (is he still around? Cesar?) because we have four dogs as well and he often said something we could use.
