Cooper gets mad at us when we laugh "at" him. The other night I was laying on the living room floor, and something came over me and I put my hair clip around his leg, it wasn't tight at all, in fact he could move it around, but he DID NOT like it, and started furiously shaking his leg, just the one. It looked like a weird dance. Through laughter, I reached over and unclipped it, and he backed up and barked at me until it turned in to a howl. I was crying by then, so I did it over and over, until husband thought neither one of us were funny anymore .....
Baxter gets mad at me when he feels it is time for a treat, and I say no. He comes up to me and barks while turning in a circle--this is his crazy treat dance--no one taught it to him...when I say no he just barks louder. When I say "That's Enough!" or "Hush, before I BEAT you!" (I never beat him, it just makes me feel better to threaten him LMAO), he backs away, gives one more short bark, then a cry...and gives up.
And people say Dogs dont have personalities or feelings! |
