Or both.

Both me and my dog do that to my fiance. We both love him. I swear I don't mean to push him out of bed.

Yes! I have two and they're small but still somehow manage to take up the whole bed. We've tried encouraging them to lie lengthways down the bed so we'd all be comfy but, nope, lying across the whole bed with their paws digging in someone's back, for them, is bliss! 🤣

As they expand and take over the entire bed.

...with love.

That's so sweet though!! He's thinking 'no, give me all the loves'.

Our cats do this too - but the push is always toward the kitchen and the tuna cans...

Very empathic response SuperChicken 👏😸👍but... ⚠️When you kneel down to hug a dog, or are getting up from kneeling in front of them... DO NOT GO down / come up DIRECTLY OVER THEIR HEAD/FACE⚠️ It mimics dogs' attempts at dominance over each other... that whole "Top Dog" / "Alpha Wolf" thing. Google "Cesar Millan's Worst Bite Ever, Molly" and "Police Dog bites Interviewing Reporter on face" for video examples.

my dog too :)

If you mean when they're jumping around and having the zoomies, it's basically the same thing. They're just letting you know that it's non-aggressive behavior. Like "Don't misunderstand me and get upset, ok?" They can do it for different reasons. I rescue and my most recent one was abused so much that she sneezes constantly during most of her interactions with people. (She is getting better, it just takes time and a lot of desensitization work.)

That's so cute🐶 I teach mine to sit for "yes" (go to the door for "go out?") and walk away for "no". Works great for knowing IF they're cold and WANT to wear a shirt.

😹That's funny, good training" job👏😸👍 You can pretty much teach a most dogs to do most anything you want, by giving most any type of "command" you choose, using repetition and positive reinforcement of most any kind (depending on their preference = treat, pet, ball, etc.)

searching Zoomies on YouTube will make you soooo happy.

We call it "crazy dogging".

We have poodle crosses, we've always called it "The Doodle Dash".

It's as though cleaning them recharges the batteries! I think of it as 'got to get the clean smell off' mode!!

We had to stop ours doing zoomies in his last year and a half, it would hurt him, but he wouldn't remember until it was too late. Bugger, I'm crying now.

Same. Our girl is 9.5, pit mix. The tail doesn't lie! Watch out for your coffee cups!

I can already imagine the day he sees you again, he'll put all his weight on you and then you'll both have zoomies

Buy a fuzzy toy. Sleep with it in your bed for a couple of days. Send it home. Let doggo open package. Ask mom to film what kind of reaction you get.

i would drop out so fast 😭😭😭

You don't miss him that if you haven't seen him in three years. Make the time to go see him their time on this earth is so short that you have make the time for them

I'm sorry that happened to you, Kika🥺 He's probably fine and it's most likely that the new owner felt the dog would settle in better without the reminder of his past life. It's a myth as far as I'm concerned but a common misconception. He probably moped around a bit after you left, which is normal. The new owner either got jealous or felt it was "bad" for him because most people try to avoid "sad" things not realizing that it's normal and healthy processing. Plu people get busy doing the necessary requirements of life and forget how their actions (or non-actions) can affect others. When you're ready maybe you can volunteer at a pet shelter or walk dogs for neighbors who are elderly or at work all day. Helping others usually helps us deal with it better. Good luck and God Bless 👋😺🤞

Some don't like being watched because they are at their most vulnerable, it depends upon their past experiences. These "rules" are "in general" because, like kids, each is an individual with individual preferences and reactions to stimuli. More a "rule of thumb" than a "law".

Very few people believe me, but sadly I've had to test my theory too many times in my life.... I can smell at least some types of cancer in people. It has it's own smell. Whenever I smell it on someone now, I tell them to please see their doctor. I have Aspergers, so my brain operates a little differently.

My friends dog kept pushing at her breast, one day it pushed super hard, that was when she found the lump

What a good doggo! I hope you're alright!

Give yourself and your pup a big hug! I have type 2 diabetes and my dog won't let me kiss her face if my sugar is too high. She makes me play with her to get it back down!

Mine have not done this, and did not do it when I had breast cancer. Totally useless in this department, I guess. Love them anyway.
