Even though I sometimes chat him up, I can't say I have long, one-sided discussions with him . . . unlike Amanda Lorber on the MTV show, <a href="http://www.petsugar.com/tag/the+paper" >The Paper</a>.<br /> <center></center><br /> Don't you think her Westie, Gaby, has the most priceless expressions?! It's almost like the pooch is actually listening . . . but still, doesn't really care what's being said. However, it turns out she was actually speaking to her dog in order to not appear to be addressing the camera: </p> <blockquote><p>"I was always very hyperaware of the cameras being there," <a href="http://media.www.nyunews.com/media/storage/paper869/news/2008/05/19/University/Mtv-Reality.Show.EditorInChief.To.Attend.Nyu.In.Fall-3373090.shtml" target="_blank">Lorber said</a>. "I don't really talk to my dog all that much, that's so that I'm not looking directly at the camera. I didn't want to look like I was talking to myself, so we figured out I could talk to my dog."</p></blockquote> <p>How about you – do you chat it up with your pet even if no cameras are rolling?</p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/1663413" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Do You Talk to Your Pet?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-1663413" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-1663413" name="edit[choice]" value="0-1663413" class="form-radio" /> Yes, all the time . . . who cares if he doesn't speak back!</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-1663413" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-1663413" name="edit[choice]" value="1-1663413" class="form-radio" /> Sometimes, but I try not to make it a habit. </label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-1663413" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-1663413" name="edit[choice]" value="2-1663413" class="form-radio" /> No, that's plain weird.</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-3-1663413" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-3-1663413" name="edit[choice]" value="3-1663413" class="form-radio" /> Other – I'll share you in my comments below.</label> </div> </div> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[nid]" id="edit-nid" value="1663413" /> <span class='button'><span><input class='fancybutton' type='submit' name="op" value="Vote" class="form-submit" /></span></span> </div><input type="hidden" name="edit[form_id]" id="edit-form_id" value="epoll_view_voting" /> </div> </div></form> <!-- no strip poll --> http://www.petsugar.com/1663413#comment poll TV MTV the paper amanda lorber Gaby west highland white terriers Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:15:12 -0700 PetSugar http://www.petsugar.com/1663413
