do you ever wonder if your dog is triing to tell you something??

So the other night around 4am river woke me up with his face directly in mine and breathing on me so okay he needs to go out and potty... so we do i go back to bed and he does the same thing but paws me this time and starts to jump on me but not in a playing manner like hes triing to tell me something, well since that night he has been sleeping with me all night and wont leave my side at night (and he never sleeps with me ) hes always on the couch last night i was a doggy sandwich and i had to kick him off the bed aroung 3am but he still had to be by my side so he layed on the floor by my bed. do you think hes triing to tell me something, what do you guys think?

It's very possible or he just realized what he was missing out on not sleeping on a bed and cuddling.

LOL that could be it

Yep, I pay attention when my dogs act differently. We all know dogs can sense things, it just stinks not knowing what is up...worries me sometimes especially with all the stories of dogs detecting when bad things are happening or going to happen such as health problems like cancer, tumors, seizures, etc. I always make it a point to tell my hubby when I notice any of the dogs acting different in case something does happen. Yeah, I'm a worry wart. Of course when I got pregnant my sibe was stuck to me like glue...more so than he normally does.

Val, had Dakota led you on to maybe when Isabella will show up? you will have to let us know if he does!

our 2 have mood swings like that when they have to be on top of everything we are doing, or being super cuddly, i think they just know when we need the extra support.

I was thinking along those lines too, I told my hubby that dogs sense things and he looks at my like im crazy but im a worry wort also so i always thinkg of the worst
my hubby is heading to so cal in two weeks so thiers boxes everywhere i wonder if he thinks we are going to leave him hes already had such a rough life i hope he doesnt think that

The boxes and packing could be fueling it. No dog wants to be left behind and most of them know when people are packing to leave. Every time hubby packs to leave for his business trips Faith, who is normally super independent and the furthest thing from a lap dog, suddenly wants to be on top of him and doesn't want to leave his side...happens EVERY time. lol

but hes not cuddling him and its all his stuff, maybe hes being my support knowing hubby will be gone why can we just come up with a way to communicate with our animals it would make life so much easier LOL

I think he wanted to tell you that Timmy fell in the well and needs to be saved.




Poor Timmy he's been in there an awfully long time.

Koda gets SUPER attached to me when we start packing... in fact, we left this weekend and he did it again. And he doesn't just follow me around. His eyes actually get sad and he stares at me constantly. And Koda is MR. INDEPENDENT. He doesn't like to cuddle (except lately) and he doesn't show much of an attachment to us. But he will TOTALLY follow me around and stick to my side when we pack.

He's also gotten more cuddly in his old age... he's 5 now and has suddenly decided that he doesn't mind showing me almost constant affection.

He may not know whose stuff is packed, all he knows is stuff is getting packed which most dogs know means someone or everyone is leaving. And it's not just the visual cues either, he could be picking up on yours or your husband's emotional cues as well. If either of you is stressed out, upset, or nervous River could pick up on and react to it by being extra clingy. And if you combine the nerves with the packing, well you might just have a velcro dog for a little while.
