I don't have any stuffed animals, but if I did I might well talk to them. I do talk to my house plants though.
I have collected quite a few stuffed animals through the years, but I don't talk to them or the dolls I have amassed, either.(my days of buying dolls and stuffed animals are over) I may write alot, but I really don't talk too much in real life anyway. I do talk to my real animals here....cats, dogs and birds....
Do they talk back as well? They do here www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppOyEbYVi0A"]Road Trip - Dog scene - YouTube
Link from photobucket of me introducing the pugs to you a few minutes ago. This is my voice. How does yours sound? http://s112.photobucket.com/user/Heidipainting/media/001_zps90496302.mp4.html
i'll talk to the spiritness i may see them as representing. but generally, no. i don't many. i'm not big on collecting. unless its things i can make other things with or out of. i don't dislike plushies. that's what people who respect the craft and the hand crafters of animal forms made of fabric and filling call them. i think they're great. when the craft has been exercised in their making, like any other art form. i don't regard them as real organisms. i recognize their lack of cerebral cortex. and yet, who's to say, a passing spirit might not rest for a spell, in anything.
I like your voice, it doesn't really have a noticeable American accent to me anyway the tourists here you can hear a mile away.
When you play with them and project qualities onto them, they become extensions of yourself; representations of some facet of your personality.
this is true. but with three cats, two dogs and an imagination which needs no physical props to be present. i do talk to the same invisible people other living animals sometimes do though.
You should ask them =] And they'll crawl under your neck and poke their lil nose into you and say "mommy your da best" eeeeeeee so exciting.
Of course. I tend to talk to living animals as well, I always feel like they know something humans don't...
I think everyone (well, almost) talks to their pets. It's a bit strange not to actually. And yea, even though they may not know exactly what you're saying and what it means, when I say "Hi Prancer!" with a smile-to my cat, I know that makes her happy and she knows that I am greeting her. Knows I am talking to her. So, I don't even think it's a useless practice to talk to your pets and I'm sure they can at least tell a lot by tone of voice and stuff.
