Is it normal to talk to your dog?

Last night my sister spent two full hours talking to our family dog in her room. She said that she really enjoyed it and that every once and a while that Shadow (dog) would scoot closer and lick her hand in a concerned way. I always knew that we left her alone too much in our house but has she gone off the deep end?
Do you think it's normal?

Talking to your pets is normal, but TWO HOURS? That's insane. Seriously what can you possibly have to say to an animal that can't talk back for two hours? Maybe she just likes to hear herself talk. Most girls/women do.
Two hours is a little extreme. However, it could mean that she just needs to spend a little bit more time with some friends and that she could feel lonely, misunderstood, or is just tired of people constantly not paying attention to what she is saying and she needs a new outlet.
Ya, talking to your pet for like a second is normal, but two whole hours? maybe the dog talked back. You never know. Haa. just kidding. But that would be so creepy if it did.
Why shouldn't she talk to the dog for 2 hours! It will listen but not answer back and sure as hell will not start telling all her friends what she said!
As humans, we take dogs as pets and treat them as a member of our families. Why shouldn't she take it one step further? POWER to her I say.
it's kinda normal if your a kid but come on 2 hours she must rely be lonely get her some friends or make her a my space or bebo page
lol i do u blame her for being like that if she's really lonely? I agree she needs to have some friends she can really talk to and express her real self and be accepted.
Maybe she was venting about her day/week?
You guys might be just looking into it too much. I talk to my kitty Tiger if I had a really stressing day, only because he responds to my voice, gets all happy & purrs abunch while cuddling with me. I mean, two hours is a bit much, but maybe she wasn't talking the whole time, maybe it was on & off while just petting him & such.
alright here we go.
First off it is not abnormal to talk to your pets.
i personally lead a very fulfilling life and im not lonely in the least. I speak with my dog for hours on end as a way to bond with her.
not to mention it very therapeutic to her and myself. she relaxes listening to my voice (and normally falls asleep..lol) and i get to talk to someone whose non judgmental. Some one who will listen to me and not say well my day was tougher ... blah blah blah...

so on a whole no its NOT weird ti talk to your pet .
u sould get out more often...
i have pets and i'd talk to them maybe a moment like " hi dovi" or commanding him or stuff, but TWO HOURS!!??? no this is not normal. are u sure she talked to the dog for 2 whole hours?? wow.... even half an hour seems extreme.
