I too am an animal lover. I too talk to animals wherever i see them. It's like i have Animal ADD. I'll be driving along and i see a rabbit and i automatically say "awww a bunny-yabbit". It just comes out. I talk to any animal i see anywhere i go. I could be having a conversation with someone outside, all the while in my head i'm trying to listen and figure out what birds are singing what songs. I feel sad for all the little critters i see dead along the road, and tell them i'm sorry their little lives ended that way. I don't kill bugs unless they are trying to hurt me first. Bugs in my house get placed outside without being killed. I know. I'm a sick individual, but it's who i am. I have 3 cats of my own. I fostered for the Humane Society and ended up keeping over half of what i fostered. Can't do it anymore. i feel too much for animals. And i guess i don't trust other people to take care of them as well as i would, so it's hard to give them up. I would take every single animal home with me to keep if i could. My daughter has a bearded dragon, my son has a corn snake, and we have a dog, a fish tank and an outside pond with frogs. There will always be animals in my life. Always. So don't feel like you are the only "i talk to animals" person out there. There are lots of us i'm sure. For me, i talk to the animals, not people. So how would anyone know I'm a crazy animal lover??
