Do you ever wonder what your dogs are thinking?
In this photo, Jessie was watching something; I'm not exactly sure what. Does she think she is protecting the house? Does she think this is HER domain and we are all her subjects? Is she just looking for an opportunity to play?
Like most dog owners, I've seen the dogs when they are dreaming and they look like they are chasing something. Do they remember their dreams? Do things that happen during the day cause them to dream something specific? Do they have nightmares?
What do the dogs think about when we're gone? Do they wonder where we go and why we go there? Do they wonder when we will be back? Do they see our absence as an opportunity to do stuff that maybe they aren't supposed to?
Do they watch television? We leave the television on when we are gone so that maybe the dogs have something to pay attention to. Don't know if it helps or not, but can't hurt.
I just know that when I look into their faces, I can feel that there is sooooooooooo much there that they can't "say" in English. And since I don't speak dog as fluently as I'd like, I'll have to figure out other ways.
What is going on in those heads?

I wonder all the time what Cocoa is thinking. Sometimes I may not want to know :) I do leave music on for her sometimes and did you ever see that dog tv??
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure! And I'm REALLY glad they can't just tell anyone what they think. Just me, maybe my husband, but not outsiders. The stories! Will have to check out dog tv. Probably more interesting to them.
DeleteJan often wonders what Merci is thinking when she sits and stares at "nothing" in the yard.
ReplyDeleteYep. You can tell something is going on.
DeleteGorgeous photo of your pooch contemplating life.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love that you wonder about this... I do to. Not just dogs but other animals... just because they don't speak human style we don't know what they are thinking. It could be survival or really deep concepts and feelings. Thanks for this post. LeeAnna and Cole who never stops thinking
ReplyDeleteThanks! Our dogs think constantly, being Aussies. Sometimes it is for good and sometimes not so much.
DeleteShe's so adorable!
