dog-talkers

Dog-talkers fall into two camps. One kind of dog-talker starts each sentence with "he's like" or "Riley's like" or, if you're me, "Django's like," followed by the presumed sentiment of the dog, in the presumed voice of the dog. "Moe's like, 'I don't think so!'" or "Django's like, 'I know you have treats, hand 'em over!'"
The other kind of dog talker eschews the intro and lauches right into the sentiment. "Are you kidding? This is some good mud!" "I smell your butt, you don't smell my butt!"
Dog-talking is okay among most other dog owners, but not all. Most dog owners go right along with you and voice their own dog-thoughts. When you get to know another dog owners, or maybe you just hit it off right away, you may take the liberty of voicing each other's dog-thoughts. But what you don't want to do is start dog-talking around a dog owner who doesn't hold with this weird little practice. Because some very awkward silences can ensue.
