Difficult subject.
We often ignore very clear signals given.
We don't mean to, but sometimes our needs override taking a step back and assessing.
➡️Our insistence as a society on patting dogs we just meet
➡️Ignoring subtle signals from our own dogs
➡️Not respecting that a dog can consent to touch (just as we can).
➡️Teaching children to say "yes" to patting dogs they have just met and do not know.
➡️Patting dogs when they are resting/sleeping because they look "just so cute".
➡️Not respecting that they have the right to change their mind and that the patting and cuddling habits may have changed today...and that is OK !
➡️Completely ignoring the moving away, turning away and sometimes "wrestling" with a fidgety dog just to give them love...by patting.

In saying all this, this graphic is also very individual.
Some dogs will flatten their ears in preparation for a good pat session that they thoroughly enjoy.

Take a second look.
Adjust what you are doing if you have to.
It will only increase your bond...not diminish it.

The Forgotten Dog’s Christmas Poem

Twas the night before Christmas when all thru the house,
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nick soon would be there.
The children all nestled snug in their beds,
With no thought of the dog filling their head.
And mom in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Knew the dog was cold but didn’t care about that.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window, I flew like a flash,
Figuring the dog was free of his chain and into the trash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Santa Claus with his eyes full of tears.
He unchained the dog once so lively and quick,
Last year’s Christmas present now painfully sick.
More rapid than eagles he called the dog’s name,
And the dog ran to him despite all his pain.
Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and V***n,
On Comet on Cupid on Donner and Blitzen.
To the top of the porch to the top of the wall,
Let’s find this dog a home where he will be loved by all.
I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year,
For Santa had made one thing quite clear.
The gift of a dog is not just for the season,
We had gotten the dog for all the wrong reasons.
In our haste to think of the kids a gift,
There was one important thing we missed.
A dog should be family and cared for the same,
You don’t give a gift, then put it on a chain.

And I heard him explain as he rode out of site,
“You weren’t given a gift, you were given a life.”

—Arthur Unknown
