Hearing voices?

We do love our animals. All six of them. They’re family members and part child-substitutes.

Like, I suspect, many pet owners, our animals talk to us in their own voices. Out of all of them, the dogs are the most talkative. And Chewie is the most chatty by a long way.

Robyn speaks like a Princess with a very slight lisp. This befits her status as a) the cleverest animal of them all, even cleverer than all of yours, and b) an actual Princess.

Chewie talks with a combination Jason Statham/Bob Hoskins/Ray Winstone voice. And he has the dirtiest, most sweary pottymouth ever. This voice came about because he has the biggest set of gonads we’ve ever seen.

In a rare photographic capture, I’ve actually caught him being both laid back and chatty. He’s so sweet!
