I have no idea what I sound like!
Well, the tall guy said we should do an audio version of my book, "Jack: A book about a dog where the dog doesn't die at the end", but when we tried, he said that I didn't sound like a Jack. He said I sounded more like someone trying to talk like a dog. I have no idea what he means, but that's usually the case, especially early in the morning before he has his Cheery Os. I told him one morning that he looked like he had been eating Grumpy Os, but he didn't think that was very funny. I rested my case!
Anyway...
I thought of an important question. If your fur child(ren) could talk, what (or who) would he/she/they sound like? (Try diagramming THAT sentence in your 8th grade English class!)
The BEST answer, as chosen by me, will win something, although I have no idea how much is left on the tall guy's credit card. Maybe you'll win a call from me so you can hear what I REALLY sound like!
What an interesting question. The answers are going to date our pawrents, of course. Jed is sweet, gentle, loyal, dependable and a straight shooter; he'd sound like Jimmy Stewart. Abby is a little reserved with strangers, but loving, elegant and full of joie de vivre; she'd sound like Audrey Hepburn.

Upon reflection, we've decided Jed could sound like Jimmy Stewart or Gregory Peck. The more we think about it, the more we think Gregory Peck. We're officially changing our entry for Jed.

Wilf - Michael Caine .
ReplyDeleteI have always felt that Sashy would sound just like Ellen Degeneres. The minute we brought her home, she let us know that she was the boss and that it was her show. She can be so sweet and also has a very sassy side and she always makes us laugh. Sashy also loves to dance, yes I am serious she rocks out to music. We have some videos but I am a dummy sometimes and can't figure out how to get them on her blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very fun idea, I can't wait to read other answers. Thanks Tall Guy.
Anne and Sasha
Well, Dexter would sound like Stephen Fry for sure. Momma says that I, Mango, would sound like Larry the Cable Guy. Huh?
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,
Mango
Sam Elliott....yep, I sound just like him....
ReplyDeleteOh this is fun...My Gracie would be Lucy!!
ReplyDeleteMy sweet Aussie Scully would sound just like Darla off the Little Rascals. Sweet, yet sassy and able to keep the boys in line. Trudy
ReplyDeleteIt'a no fair for me to enter, Jack, because you know what I sound like from when we used to meet at Udall Park!!!!! I haven't changed at all.
ReplyDeleteMiss ya

Cody
Flirty would sound like Meg Ryan (whiney, shy, sweet, flirty, demure).
ReplyDeleteMorning Jack...oh geez do I know what you mean about the peeps being grumpy before they have their Cheerios/people nip.
ReplyDeleteMom says if I could talk I'd sound exactly like Queen Elizabeth.
I do need to work on the lovely British accent. She says I have the Queenly cat-ti-tude down to a fine art. Mom is my lady-in-waiting and attends to my every need while I sit on my royal tush observing with a very critical eye.
So with that I bid you a "Cheerio as I await my afternoon tea and scones with clotted butter".
Sincerely,
Madison the Diva Island Princess Cat (DIPC)
Hey peeps get this... My Lady said I would sound like Will Smith (googy like)! I had to remind her I was a girl, for gosh sakes. We settled for Queen Latifah, even though I have no idea who she is, but how bad could it be with Queen in front of it?
ReplyDeleteIm jiggy wit it!
Hi, there Jack!
ReplyDelete(I would say "Hi, Jack" but then you would think I was holding you at gunpoint and demanding that you take me somewhere BOL)
Anyway, I've read your book (LOVED it!!!), and based on your words and actions, I think you would have a rich, baritone voice like James Earl Jones.....you seem like a very macho dog, yet with a tender side, too :-)
Hugs & Cookies!
Your friend,
Nancy
PS - I tried having my Kindle read your book to me, but it sounded pretty lame - so definitely do not mimic the Kindle "voice"...LOL
ReplyDeleteYour friend,
Nancy
Hi Jack. Am a big fan. My person thinks I sound like Jim Carey at his craziest. I think that means she thinks I am totally zany and off the wall. Oh and alot of the time she has no idea what I am yapping on about. But it is ok cause she loves me anyway.
ReplyDeleteUh.....didn't you already know that I sound just like Marilyn Monroe? Just let me sing Happy Birthday to you sometime.......hehe.
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy, Two M's for Marilyn Monroe....hehe
After much thought and discussion, we have decided on the following:
ReplyDeleteZack sounds like Dudley Do-Right of Royal Canadian Mounted Police. After all, Labrador is a Canadian province.
Buddy sounds just like Barry White, singing Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe.
And Sweet Sassy, is Scarlett O'Hara...Frankly my dear...
This is a great question. I've only "precisely" imagined one of my Golden's voice in my mind's ear. It was Devo, and I knew how he would sound if he could talk - Frank Whaley's voice, exactly like you hear in Field of Dreams (as Archie Graham). Devo was a great ball player in his own right. Always a little boy.

My Bosley is so goofy and loveable that I have always imagined he would sound like Lennie from "Of Mice and Men" - but in the voice of the Looney Tunes cartoons... "which way did he go George, which way did he go?"
ReplyDeleteYour FURiend,
Bosley's hu-mom
He obviously ate Nutty- O's! We sound like a dog. It's just our regular voice, weird
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Hearing what you really sound like is a great prize!
ReplyDeleteI always thought Raider's voice should sound like Michael J. Fox's voice! LOL
He always "verbal" and I was always saying, "what are trying to tell me boy?!" :)
i love all these comments! it's going to be hard.
ReplyDeleteamazed that nobody sounds like walter matthau.
i had a basset hound once that sounded like walter if walter had been a girl.
i guess you would say penelope/walter in drag. is that how they say it? anyway.
angus hit it perfectly. his wee wilf certainly sounds like michael caine! my own wee pon who looked just like wilfee would then have had to sound like sean connery.
come to think of it... i think he did! yes. i like that. very much. and he liked his kibble shaken. not stirred.
Let's see....6 dogs with very different personalities makes this such a fun thing to think about!
ReplyDeleteSeamus (pug/shih tzu) is definitely Cheech Marin, and his buddy Otis (pug) is probably Tommy Chong. Chunk the pug is definitely a southern gentleman with a mix of Fred Gwinn, Colonel Sanders, and Walter Matthau.
Simon is little and screechy like Little Richard (he's chihuahua/boston terrier).
I'm not sure who Mikki (corgiX) and Dexter (dachundX) would sound like though. That's a question for the ages.
Oh jack my mutt Amber is a very hard dog to guess for.... on the other hand my tom cat Socker would sound like C-Lo Green and my female cat Princess would sound like Christina Agulara or Jennifer Lopez!!
ReplyDeleteHeh, I would sound like me, Bailey! Teehee! Though I would love to do a kitty impression. ;)
ReplyDeleteWoofs & hugs, <3
~Bailey (Yep, I'm a girl!)
I agree with Remington....Sam Elliott is exactly who he sounds like!
ReplyDeleteIf Clyde had a human voice he would sound like Dean Winters who portrays “Mayhem” in the Allstate Insurance commercials.
ReplyDeleteHe has a very similiar personality. Clyde has been portyaying mayham for 9 years, you never know in what form he will come or what kind of damage he will do. Your only guarantee is that it is going to be funny.

I'm diagramming in my seventh grade writing class!
ReplyDeleteMorgan Freeman.
ReplyDeleteIf Josie, my great dane could talk, I always imagined her sounding like the cartoon character in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons that says "I will name him George and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him and call him my own". Mel Blank maybe?
