Do you ever wonder what your pets are saying?

[loulizlee]

linderlizzie, yes, I do think you are being a little too scientific.    I've seen dogs who displayed much intelligence.

Yes. I'm sure I'm mistranslating all the time. I usually think of my pet whether he's hungry, wants to play and/or wants to be comforted. After the number of years I had a pet, I found a website in the past year telling me the errors of my way on how to read dog language.

Yes sometimes it would help to know what they want when they do talk.

Yes I do wonder what my pet is saying....I always tell my husband wonder what our cats are thinking & saying when they meow LOL....

Sometimes it is easy to interpret them but I so wish they could talk to tell us exactly what is wrong with them when they are sick.

Do you wonder what your pets are telling you?

Yes. I like to think that I know what he wants. Body expressions and barks are intuitive. You can tell what they want by what they do.The looks in their eyes are what I would like to know. What are you thinking?

Sometimes it seems obvious what my dog(s) are telling me.  "I need to go outside", "Pet me / hold me", "I'm hungry", "Get out of bed", etc.  If you mean do I wish my dogs could "talk" I'd say no.  The fact that the communication between me and my dogs is non-verbal is one of the things I love about them.  It makes me more aware of them and of what they (and I!) react to.  I love them the way they are.
