I saw a lovely example of this on our walk thismorning. Joy's arthritis is responding well to the Librela injections, but she still has a slight limp.(The vet has said the dose could be increased if necessary but wants to try her on the current low dose for a few more weeks as it can take a while before the full benefits are apparent) Anyway, we were ambling round the local nature reserve, Joy having a good sniff, when a man arrived with a young, bouncy big male black Lab. He bounded over to me enthusiastically and I made a fuss of him( he was absolutely gorgeous!) then he started to go over to say hello to Joy. She was looking a bit anxious, worried, I think, that he was going to bounce at her. His owner said 'Is she alright?' and I explained that she had arthritis and was probably worried about being bounced at. He replied that Ned (his dog) was very good at reading other dogs and would be unlikely to do anything to hurt her. I was ready to step in if he was too much for her, but sure enough he was incredibly gentle with her, just a bit of polite nose rubbing and licking and lots of wagging, and I could see that Joy was happy with this and really liked him. I was very impressed, particularly as he was only 18 months old. Apparently he goes to daycare one afternoon a week and the staff there have commented on how well he reads other dogs and knows who to bounce with and who needs him to be gentle. So yes, they most certainly are incredible beings, but......well, we knew that all along, didn't we?!

We often chat about our Dogs' subtle expressions/communications that are so obvious to us, but to a non-Dog person, they are "just Dog". They are incredible beings.

So do we. Chewie is so good at telling us what he needs and wants in his doggy way. He also understands words in context. He can hear the word "give" and not care. "Chewie" might get half a sleepy eye open but "give Chewie" gets both eyes open and ears up.
