It gets old pretty fast. See for yourself: go try to watch any of those movies (maybe on Netflix? I'm not sure).
But anyways, the reason I bring this up is that now with a dog, I find myself doing this when he's playing with the other dogs from downstairs. I start narrating his actions with specific human emotions, because I still think it's funny. Also because it's adorable.
Take for example today. The other boy dog, Coco, had a chewy bone that he was working on. Apparently he stole it from Jelly Bean, one of the girl dogs who happens to be a little older, and also has a rougher history of being a street dog for a while. So when Jelly Bean figures out what Coco is up to, she goes a little cray-cray and starts barking at him pretty ferociously. Meanwhile, Rosco is standing next to Jelly Bean, with this look like, "Hey now, come on, why you barking at him? Take it easy...", and he even tried to put his paw on her to calm her down. Pretty cute. But I can't help but verbalize what I think he's thinking to the other dog owners outside because I think it's so awesome when he acts kind of "human-y". It must just be one of those things that people do with their kids/siblings/pets. I can't be the only one; you've probably done it too.
In Melissa news, next week starts the big final push! Monday she has 2 practicals (histology and anatomy), Tuesday she has her Mini (on Repro), and Wednesday she has CCSB (clinical assessment, like taking an HPI and doing basic tests on a patient). Then the Tuesday after that is the Final! It is almost upon us! This semester has flown by, but I guess it's true what they say: "Time flies when you're anthropomorphizing your pets."
Take care!!
Eric
