We give our pets voices, pretending we know what they would say in a given situation. And of course, each pet has their own voice/accent! We used to have a dog with a British accent! 😉 Our newest dog has a lisp - because no one ever took him to speech therapy! Lol
So I gave my sister's dog a voice too. (She doesn't do stuff like that!) The dog is a rescue from Alabama so I gave her a southern accent. It even makes my sister smile 😆
Thanks, Marci! 💕 I love this, and pretending!! Isn't that what a good fiction writer does, play pretend? Asking those "what if" questions? Thanks for sharing your past and for highlighting a critical skill and problem solving tool we sometimes think we're too "grown up" for. 😉
I love pretending! I need to do it more often! I had so many interesting games of pretend when I was little. Sometimes I wish I could consult little me on what to do today!
What a fun reminder, Marci. And I agree with Carol. Pretending and imagining are the toolkit of fiction writers. I'm so glad in this instance we don't have to grow up.

I love this, Christy!! You're very creative. I remember your dog with the British accent. :-) How fun you keep creating stories!

That's a great thought! I wish I could do that, too!

Me too! Growing up is overrated. Ha, Ha!
I have often thought that writers are BIG pretenders. I need to pretend more and market less!!!
Yes, BIG pretenders!
