My dog talks to me during the day. Not the way the Oreos talk to me when I am alone in the house; she makes sounds that other people can hear,
a rrrrwaRrr rRwaaarrr rwwaRRaar.
I am pretty sure I know what she is trying to “say”: “… hey there, Mrs. More-Highly-Evolved-Mammal, how about you back away from the computer and use those opposable thumbs of yours to hook the leash on this here collar and take me for a little walk around the neighborhood????”
I may not be clear on all the subtle nuances, but I am fairly certain of the main idea. One look at her long face and I don’t even need to hear the words.
Which reminds me of an old joke: a writer asks “What time is it? and the dog answers “Now, now, now, now, now!!” There is no past or future for the dog, it is always now. Always a good time for a walk, even when we just returned from one.
jane, candid 
How could you look at that furry face and not give in to her every canine desire?!?
My kids have that same “now, now, now” concept of time!
hey, my dog says the same thing to me! and sometimes she makes other sounds, too, but i ignore her. i think she’s correcting my grammar.
