That one thing your dog does that makes you smile .

[poppy196]

My darling dog always makes me smile when I give him his tea he will always come and find me in the house or garden to give me a kiss . I can only think he's thanking me for his meal .
It makes me smile every time .
What makes you smile 😃 with your dogs ?

Brings me a gift whenever I come in the door even if I only stepped out to put something in the bin and sings along with the radio when certain songs come on. It’s hysterical. She throws her head right back and sings her heart out. If I don’t join in she will pause and give me “the look”

Looks into my eyes, soulfully. Complete and utter love (on both sides). A great leveler of mood

He loves to be spooned in the bed under the duvet with his head swashed between my boobs

So many things, but the one that really melts my heart is when she's lying on her back, paws in the air and I'm giving her a shoulder massage. She closes her eyes and her mouth does this sort of smile and she looks like the happiest dog on the planet.

One of my ddogs talks to us- growls Nd barks whenever he wants soething. A different tone for diner or wanting to go outside. Im lazy so often say "go ask daddy" off he goes...

Oh and "the thing" whenever we get hoe he jumps onto the arm of the sofa so he can put his feet on our chests for a tummt rub - hes a jrt

If she farts she looks st her backside in a horrified manner.

I love this thread and reading about all your gorgeous doggos, I really want a dog but we don't have the time for one at the moment.

I was home alone and I'd had a few glasses of wine. I was cooking and having a little dance about in the kitchen to Ladyhawke / My Delirium (great song) and Ddog jumped off the sofa and started dancing with me, jumping up and down on her hind legs in sheer joy, totally unprompted by me. It was like the bit at the end of Fantastic Mr Fox where they all dance. Truly special moment, makes me teary just thinking about it.

There are so many things about her that melts my heart. If she hears DH and I dancing in the kitchen, no matter where she is in the house she comes bouncing in and barks like a loon until we pick her up and dance with her.

I love her so much.

Pokes me in the back of the knee with his nose when he wants a fuss. Lies on the landing and sticks his head through the banisters for kisses when anyone is going down the stairs and gets level with him. Shouts 'Awooooo' after you if you stop fussing him and get up too soon. Just the funniest, gentlest character I've ever had the privilege to know. He's 15 and getting a bit wonky and every single minute with him is so precious now.

Coming upstairs and tapping on the door to come in as soon as she heard me be awake in the morning. And then take a flying leap onto the bed and lie down with a big puffy sigh.
Miss her loads.

Such heartwarming stories! There are times my dogs have been watching me intently and try to copy what I’m doing. I love my dogs more than anything in the world ❤️

Whenever I dance with the kids the dog gets very jealous and is up on her back legs offering me her ‘hands’ to hold.

Also for some reason I find it very cute when she takes her blanket and her bed out of her crate every morning and carries them though the house to the living room. I have no idea why she does this as she then ignores them all day and sleeps on the sofa!

Just remembered a smart thing ddog used to do
She used to be sil ddog and lived outside, dd started letting her inside.
She started standing near but not in her bed near the front room window...
And barking..
To tell dd to move the bed to the sunny spot!!
Repeated all day to ensure she was lying in the sunny bit!
Bloody genius imo!!
My ddog now and a total couch potato!!

My dog might be a lunatic but I wouldn change her for anything. She is funny, incredibly loyal, loving, protective and just amazing.
I love most things she does except barking for no reason whatsoever.
She really is psycho but it makes her who she is.

She loves her paw being held when she is dozing in the park

Dog 1:
Meets me at the door with a soft toy. If I'm home early and take him by surprise he'll run around to find one before greeting me, like he can't possibly say hello without a gift.

Nudges my arm with his nose for a cuddle.

Sticks his head between my knees when I'm standing still for long enough, especially when I'm cooking.

Play fights with DH and always goes for DH's ears, licking and nibbling them.

Goes and stares at the dog treat cupboard and spins in circles if you ask if he's hungry.

Has to eat any dog treats on the rug in the lounge. If he can't get into the lounge he'll carry the treat round, drooling and whining until he's let in to his special spot.

Dog 2:
Presses the top of his head into my boobs for a cuddle.

Gives away when he's done something naughty or been on the sofa by doing this full body squirm with his front teeth on show, making a weird 'arowl raaaal rouwwwwl' noise.

Does loud, squeaky yawns.

Does a really cute thing with his ears and eyes like a cross between puss in boots from shark and Dobby from Harry Potter.

I love them both so much I could just squish and smooch them forever

Ours goes mad when he first gets to the beach, running in huge circles until he's almost out of sight. Then he crashes out for about 4 hours, maybe waking up to dig a hole now and again 😃

I love how my dog sleeps with his little paw across his nose. He looks so sweet 🙂

Every morning when my very quiet alarm goes off, she moves from her curled up normal spot at the base of the bed. She slowly wiggles her whole body up the side of my body like a snake until she's at head height and then roll over until her legs are in the air and her head is nuzzled into my neck. position assumed she and I then start every morning with soft words of doggy worship , love and cuddles before starting the day.

When she needs to go out she runs into the room super excited and sits right in front of me, eyes on me tail wagging frantically. If i pretend I haven't seen her she'll jump on the sofa beside me and stare, wagging like her life depended on it. If I manage to contain my laughter and ignore her she ramps it up a notch and she prods me with one paw. At this point, I usually cave and say 'you want to go out', to which she dives off the sofa and belts at lightning speed to the back door. However on phone occasion I managed to hold on and there was a phase 4: I one paw didn't work she pounced on me with both front paws like she was trying to resuscitate me. Honestly I was nearly on the floor laughing.

My dog is not that keen on baths unless I'm in it. Then she spends half of my bathtime on two legs leaning on the side of the bath. It's got so bad she now has her own chair to save her little legs.

Her favourite place to sleep in behind my head on the sofa with her head on my shoulder.

She spends most of her life upside down. I only have to look at her when I'm having a bad day and she instantly lift my spirit.

@missyB1 When a dog sleeps with all fours in the air exposing belly they are truly comfortable with surroundings, feel safe to expose most vulnerable part of their body, probably is schnauzer thing too, however, thats not to say that dogs who dont do this aren't comfortable in their home.

Oh yes the sticking of all four paws in the air is definitely an instruction for belly rubs in this house

@BiteyShark we meet again! hey, I got a lay in until 7 am today!

Dd1 Gives you a 30 min warning before set times for things like being let in the garden on days its too cold to keep the door open, before his meal times, before he is due a walk

if his "special blanket" isn't at the foot of the bed, at bedtime he will take it out the hamper

is 4 and still chases his tail
walks around the house in the morning making low growling and humour noise at anyone who dares look at him or speak to him until he can go back to bed for a few hours....by bed, I mean our bed ours

Dd2 has to lay between us for about 10 mins for his head and belly rub at night,
he hates it if me and HIS daddy have you know, rudies, he will make it very clear by barging into the bedroom and looking at us with disgust and huffing before walking away VERY loudly, will often knock something over too
weighs 55kilo and likes to sit on your knee,
is fascinated by nature programmes on tv, he stares at the tv wagging his tail tilting his head from side to side and will turn and look at you smiling he especially likes wolves

if he decides its time for a fuss, you have to give it to him or he will hit you or bark at you if you when you stop, you can only stop when he has had enough

Dd3 likes to lay in your arms like a baby....she weighs 35-38 kilo it varies, she loves it when she gets little cheek kisses, and will press the side of her face into yours
sleeps in the corner of the bedroom on her bed with her head behind the curtain,
if you leave your brew on the coffee table and leave the room it's gone
if she is dreaming her paws go like mad and then she makes chewing noises and sleeps with a smile on her face afterwards. a successful hunting trip I assume,
tries to bite next doors house cat......through the window...the cat will box her face from the other side

Dd4 puppy....well she is a puppy so everything she does is hilarious....apart from the early wake-ups, but currently, she tries to chase and bite the seagulls....that are flying way-way above the garden, if she catches her tail she walks over ina crab motion showing you the fruits of her labour

CrazyDogLady87 7am would be a miracle in this house
