Does your dog get this look?

GSDGunner · 01-16-2012, 03:03 PM

This is Gunner sitting in front of me to get his chest scratched. He puts his paw on my leg and as soon as I start to scratch his chest his ears go completely flat.

Right before I started to scratch:

Ears flat as I scratch. I had to stop to take the picture, but scratched his paw on my leg.

Yes, Sinister does the exact same thing.

Adorable

My dogs have done that.

Josie/Zeus · 01-16-2012, 03:10 PM

Oh yes.

JackB. · 01-16-2012, 03:14 PM

Ha! We get this look as well. And the squinty eyes that say "Oh my, oh my, that feels sooo good".

My puppy holds her ears back when she is sleepy and I let her out to potty before I go to bed... cutest thing ever!

Oh yes. I get this. It is the, "Mom, you've been on the computer too long and I really want your attention." Usually a toy dropped in my lap before the paw comes up. Way to make me feel guilty for sure!

Op,Off topic but what food do you feed? His coat is gorgeous.

Ooh, I love that look.

Shasta does it, too.

I call it "puppy ears", even when they are adults. Mine do it, too.
