My pooch, Mayday. What's she thinking? |
Question, "What does your pet really think of you? Interestingly, studies suggest that dogs in particular, empathize with their owners emotional and cognitive processing. However, dogs are far better at reading your emotions than humans. In fact, we humans should borrow a page out of their notebook on the subject. I adore my cocker spaniel, Mayday. After all, I have owned her since she was 9 weeks old, and she has grown into a 15 year old, beautiful buff color, smart as a whip, frisky like her owner, little human (lol). Moreover, she has more personality than I, what is not to love? However, I have caught her staring at me in the middle of the night, with a curious look on her face. What is she trying to tell me? I know this sounds crazy, but she tilts her head sideways when I speak to her, as if she is trying to understand my questions. Case and point, "Mayday, it is time to eat, if she is upstairs, she immediately runs to her bowl. Mayday, it is time for a bath. Naturally, I have to chase her around the house because she hates baths. Mayday, it is time to go outside.” Again, she loves the outdoors, so she beats me-out the door. Conversely, when I put my make up on in the morning before heading to work, she loves to watch me apply my makeup. Why is that? I mean, she can be eating, chewing on her favorite toy, or asleep, yet she mysteriously shows up to watch me put on my makeup. Was she a makeup artist in another life? Is she really thinking that I look like a 'hot mess' with fuchsia lipstick? Well, I do look like a hot mess with fuchsia lipstick, so, bad example (lol). Anyway, I digress, but I ask the question: "Are dogs trying to tell us something when they constantly stare at us?" After all, we all know if a dog barks, he or she is trying to clue you in on a threat. Nevertheless, I do not understand when they sit and watch you with their head tilted, what does that mean? I am just saying…
