blink dog

I wonder what playing an awakened blink dog would be like?

The language "blink dog" is all the vocalizations a dog could make organized into a language. It's like how wookies from star wars can't speak anything but wookie.

I just realized that as long as your dm is cool, it has the highest cr allowed to make it a beast companion for beast master ranger.

 You don't even have to awaken it. It's got 10 intelligence already.

does the voice saying blink dog sound like marisha ray (critical role) to you guys or is it just me

 That’s cause it is. Marisha and Matt did the pronunciations for all the creatures.

Can a blink dog teleport its companion if they are touching/together?

Imagine if a Halfing Cavalier got a hold of one with this ability, that would be nuts for the DM. However I don't think that's possible outside of Homebrewing 

dude if this had pack tactics 

Dogs do understand the meaning of words. Do look at the long study that is currently testing the limits of their intelligence using buttons. Some of the dogs in the study are stringing 8 words together to form sentences (without articles like 'the' etc). These dogs also discuss abstract concepts such as time, e.g. "can I see my friend tomorrow".
Much like humans do, yes dogs learn the sound association to an object/action etc. Or did you assume humans are born fully comprehending any and all languages ;) 

Who's nugget ( i don't watch critical roll.)

It's a Blink Dog who was present in the show as a pet of one of the characters. It did not unfortunately do much during the show unfortunately

 I'm pretty sure it is already awakened. Blink dogs has an intelligence of 10, meaning that it is as smart as an average humanoid. Meaning if one could talk blink dog, they would have a decent conversation. 

I think it is correct to assume they understands the words they say since they have an intelligence score of 10 (higher than most barbarians I know).

 Except blink dogs are fey, not beasts.  And are smart, speak a language, and teleport.  If your GM is fine with all that, then a little thing like CR isn't likely to be a issue either.

 Easy fix, homebrew a Blink Dog Alpha with slightly better stats & gives Blink Dogs that can see or hear it Pack Tactics.

Could a halfling use this as a mount?

 So a Ghostwise Halfling who speaks Sylvan could communicate with a Blinkdog, since Silent Speech doesn't rely on verbal speech. That would be pretty cool.

My friend has a dog who lost an eye so we call it a "wink dog."
