Pet Peeve

Do you ever wonder if the things you do, which you may think are lovable and funny, are someone else's pet peeve about you?

This one is really a possible pet peeve:

I like to ascribe human thoughts and dispositions to animals.

When I see someone's pet, in the course of conversation, I will make up something that I think the animal is thinking. "Hey, mom you're embarrassing me" or "Let's get inside, there's kibble in there!"

Being my own jokes, I think this is funny. Sometimes I wonder though, if the owner, who knows their pet far better than I do, is thinking, "My dog doesn't talk like that."
