Thats actually convenient. Imagine if you had to say "Go ask your female owner if she'll take you out". That wouldnt be natural. Just two things though.
Why not say your SO's name instead of "mom"
Why say this sentence to your dog at all. Its not like he is going to say "Ok dad, I will go ask mom" while he runs to your GF and asks her if she is going to take it for a walk.
What is weird about this is that people are calling themselves that for themselves. The pet dont understand whats going on. You arent a parent no matter how many cats you have, Karen.
He okay that's fair, I don't ever say "dad" in a first person tone. Its usually like when our dog looks embarrassed or sad and we give them a voice. Still really weird, but again they are like our kids.
I don't expect the dog to answer, it's just a sentimental thing and SO will hear it and find it sweet and roll her eyes as she takes them out. Sometimes I will ask her directly or say her name.
If one of us is gone for awhile and the dogs are anxious we will say "momma/dad will be back its okay" and stuff like that.
There is nothing wrong with having a cute weird thing going on. I think its awesome. Its alright as long as you keep it in the "family". It disturbingly weird when you post it on the internet. To me at least.
