Of course. I talk to Dudley all of the time - I work at home, so it's just the two of us most of the time. But, even when I worked in an office, I talked to him just like he was a person when I came home! Look at the face...how could I not?
Yes all the time and he listens to everything I say like he us human. On the other hand when my husband tries to talk to him like I do, my bully "Nino" looks at him and stares & turns his head siseways like he doesn't understand a word he is saying!! LOL. My husband gets so mad.
