The Intimate Language of Canines:
Unraveling Touchy-Feely Behavior

Ah, the language of paws, nibbles, and cozy companionship—the heartwarming lexicon of our four-legged friends. Let’s delve into the delightful world of touchy-feely dog behavior:

1.The Paw Connection: Picture this: You’re sitting on the couch, lost in thought, when suddenly, a soft paw lands on your leg. Your dog’s eyes meet yours, and in that moment, it’s as if they’re saying, “Hey, I’m here. Let’s share this space.” Whether it’s a gentle tap or a full-on paw hug, that touch is a canine love note—a reminder that you’re their safe harbor.

2.Nibbles and Nuzzles: Ever had your dog nibble your hand or playfully gnaw at your sleeve? It’s their way of saying, “You’re part of my pack!” These nibbles aren’t just random; they’re affectionate gestures. Think of it as their version of a friendly handshake. And those nuzzles? Pure gold. When your dog presses their nose against you, they’re soaking up your scent, imprinting your essence into their memory. It’s like a warm hug for their olfactory senses.

3.The Bathroom Buddy: Ah, the age-old question: Why does Fido insist on joining you in the bathroom? Well, it’s not about critiquing your toiletry habits. Dogs are pack animals, and to them, you’re the alpha. So, when you disappear behind that closed door, they worry. “Is the pack leader okay? Should I guard the fortress?” Hence, the bathroom es**rt service. It’s oddly endearing, isn’t it?

4.The Velcro Dog: Some dogs take attachment to a whole new level. They shadow you like furry ninjas—kitchen, bedroom, backyard, you name it. It’s not clinginess; it’s devotion. They thrive on your presence, absorbing your energy like solar panels. And when they curl up on your feet or sprawl across your lap, it’s their way of saying, “This is where I belong.”

5.The Spouse vs. You: Now, here’s a twist. If your dog consistently chooses to snooze on your side of the bed rather than your partner’s, consider it a canine vote of confidence. They’ve weighed the options: your warmth, your scent, your midnight snuggles—clear winner! Sorry, hubby, but the doggy hierarchy has spoken.

So, next time your pup leans in for a cuddle or leaves a tiny paw print on your heart, revel in the touchy-feely symphony. Because in their world, love isn’t just spoken; it’s felt through every nuzzle, every paw pat, and every shared moment. 🐾

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.
