Puppy Talk

A confession and question. Why is it when communicating with Wally, I feel the need to revert to this high pitched, chooo choo choo voice? I am a grown up asking my 10 week old puppy "Where's your Wally wagger"?, in that annoying voice that comes out of me that even I hate, bending over him rubbing his little puppy soft ears which is the canine equivalent of gently pinching a baby's cute little chubby cheeks. He looks up expectantly wagging his tail which will soon be a one wag clutter clearing machine. Eagerly awaiting what he hopes will be a hot dog treat because that choo choo choo voice usually means something good is about to happen.
