@ 222.127.87.75  I dunno I think Rarity treats Spike more like a friend than a pet. If anything the baby talk just makes Spike sound like a little child considering that he is a baby dragon althought he is more mature than he looks, Besides at least Spike and Rarity talk and interact with one another, what about the rest of Twilight's friends with the exception of Twilight, Celestia,and maybe Pinkie Pie(and thats a definite maybe), Spike barely interacts with any other ponies.

We know that he knows the names of a few ponies in town but we never really see him talk or interact with them or vice versa. Applejack, and Rainbow Dash(with the exception of Dragon Quest and even then made fun of him) bearly talk to him unless they needed a favor, and even Fluttershy, despite her shyness was so excited, focused, and even eager to talk to Spike and hear his life story (and even offer to carry him to bed), practically show lack of interaction and interest after the first episode and you would think she would be interacting more after eventually finding out that he has his own pet (a phoenix nonetheless). There was even no interaction from the CMC.

If Spike went through another greed-growth (no matter how unlikely), and Twilight, and Rarity wasn't there when it happened, then Ponyville would be doomed on account that the rest girls couldn't get through Spike not on account that they have no friendship but that their friendship wouldn't be strong enough to revert him back to normal.
