I’m glad to know I’m not the only person who writes songs to their dogs. Sadie’s is sung to the Spiderman theme-song music.

Oh yes, I baby talk to them!

I suppose I look a bit weird peering into a Tupperware container and cooing “hi babies!” to a bunch of snails.

Like **PandaBear** , I will sometimes ask him questions (often paired w/ belly-rubs),
