i think my dog can read my mind

[jay90]

i think my dog can read my mind,he knows when i am about to feed him and walk him.has anybody else experienced this?Hes got really human eyes.....

[ELVIS68]

Perhaps you picking up the tin of dog food or lead gives it away?

[stewey]

Hi, jay90. Isn't wonderful to have that relationship with your pet
They trust you and depend upon you and also thank you in ways which sometimes only the two of you can interpret: you cannot really explain this experience to persons who do not have a real (non-human) friend. I happen to have three cats and they are "family".

Evenin all'

Well my dog has developed this very strange habit!!!!......if I say....."Elvis says your gay".......he starts foaming at the mouth....switches the puter on and goes straight to AB to find him.....clever dog eh?..........lol

[ne2]

Pet's get to know where things are. Our dog stands by his "Dog Biccie" cupboard and just looks at one of us. We've only got to say "Park" and he's up in a flash waiting for his lead and if I say "Cats" he goes crazy..lol. He loves REM,especially "Whats the frequency Kenneth" and sings well, howls like hell when we play it for him.

Not as clever as my dog Bez, when I took him to Liverpool

I was just about to throw his ball for him when he said..`don`t throw it to far, someone will nick it`


Now that`s clever

[jay90]

Too true jay, dogs are so tuned in to everything about us, cos when you think, they have a very limited life, it revolves round us entirely and their very existance depends on us.

I watched a programme about the dogs that assist epileptics and how they train them. It was amazing. Apparently, when they are about to go into a fit, their actions become slower and they start to blink lazily, the dog picks up on this and responds by barking and scratching, giving them about 30 minutes to get to a safe place.
The training begins by the epileptic sufferer having an escort who praises the dog loads when a fit has occurred, so that the dog begins to look for clues that this is going to happen, excited in the prospect of a treat.
My 2 dogs read my every move and mood. One in particular gets so distressed when I am even remotely upset that I have to lighten my tone of voice and feign playfullness to appease her.

Even then, she knows and will come to me, licking my mouth (the classic, looking-for-comfort-from-my-mum, action )

I know it's nice to think they can read your mind, but in reality, they are scrutinising your every move. As humans we are, after all ,creatures of habit. They learn what's coming next, good or bad. xx

Hey ho..same old exchanges goin on here then lol !!

[Redbel]

Ello Linda......just me and Elvis having our same ole ding dong.......lol

[ELVIS68]

And just to put to sleep the old adage about a dogs life is multiplied by seven against a human life

it`s because the dog gets so bored being left alone hours on end it just feels like it`s that long

[lindapinda]

Hi you two!!..Got a tip for the Gold Cup Elvis,from our local newsagent..Exotic dancer..would that be right?

[Redbel]

oooh, I'll put a few quid on that Linda.......

[lindapinda]

Bez..I can't see you on msn?

[peppy]

Aaww, Elvis, you are either a cynic or a dog-lover, which is it to be ? xxx

Someone mentioned Liverpool? My cats are from Birkenhead they are. Took the ferry across the Mersey. Won't go back, won't look back, and, for some reason, look with disdain towards all "scousers". They are now happily ensconced in the Midlands licking their chops after imbibing Baileys Irish Creme and munching upon watercress sammies.
