Preaching to the choir

I always worry when I take my sweet pup for a walk downtown that others will think I'm crazy.  See,  I talk to Maddie.  A lot.  Even worse, sometimes she talks back.  It's such a habit to me to have conversations with her that I don't always check myself when I'm in public.  I am comforted to realize that I am not alone.  So the next time someone catches me talking to my dog, I can hold my head high with the knowledge that she'll tell her cat all about it as soon as she gets home.
