Does your dog give you “The Look?”

You mean like our middle Labradoodle, when he's been caught eating something he shouldn't ? :D

This happened years ago: I had eaten Hershey kisses. probably 7 or 8 kisses, while sitting on the couch. Each empty wrapper went outside the previous wrapper until I had a little silver foil ball.

I had to leave the house and forgot the ball was on the sofa. When I got back the look on my dog's face was one of I don't know, condemnation, indignance, utter disappointment in me?

There were the little foil squares perfectly unwrapped and scattered in a small pile. To my shame he must have thought I left him a chocolate treat (I KNOW CHOCOLATE IS BAD FOR DOGS) and he was so sad and thoroughly miffed.

I'll never forget that look on his face. I wish I could snuggle him right now. He passed in 2007.

This is the "stare". At exactly 4 p.m., she will sit and stare until I get up to get her supper. At the exactly 6:30 p.m. she will sit and stare until I get up to get ice cream... of which she gets a thumbnail size sliver. Her internal clock is more accurate than most clocks in the home. Won't bark. Won't do anything but sit there and bore holes through you with her eyes.

One of ours, our elder Miniature labradoodle does that with the staring when it comes to mealtimes, and also sometimes occasionally for no reason at all, as if he's trying to work out where he is . He has only started doing it this last year since he was diagnosed with slight Dementia

We rescued Angel about 2 1/2 years ago. The agency thought she was right at a year old, then. She's part Jack Russell Terrorist and part Criminally Conspiratorial Chihuahua. Been a really great dog!! Finally growing out of the puppy stage.

We've had dogs most all of our 55 years of marriage. My wife and I both grew up on farms where we had dogs around all the time. Neither of us are cat people. We do enjoy our dogs, though.
