Spirits and Aliens
Forgive me if I come across a tad skeptical in this essay. I am breaking with my rule against humor and well, I will endeavor to be funny, in meaningful ways. I have more questions than answers. And, I am a little creeped out by some things. Some of those are seriously scary things, and some of those things are just brain braking curiosity on why humans do certain things. I am human, so I am not trying to beat up on humans, but some things humans do- they bother me. Like dressing pugs up. Why? What is that? I have a friend of a friend who is having a wedding next month and her dog is carrying the ring down the aisle… It has a history of biting people. Does that not seem like the worse set up ever?
People that talk baby talk to their pets- disturb me. I just want to go all Vader on them and pinch my fingers and lift them in the air and say, “I find your lack of faith disturbing…”
Why do voices go up an octave to talk to pets? They have a greater auditory range than humans. You don’t have to go up to get through to them. You’re not even supposed to talk baby talk to babies, so why are we talking to pets in high octane, silly voices? Okay, okay, I get it, this is just me. Honestly, I love pets. I love animals. My ability to interact with any animals, domesticated and wild, has astounded…
