donski Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 My bully is 5. We have a great relationship. He stares at me though - a lot! It can be very disconcerting and puzzling! What the heck is he trying to communicate to me? It's probably not a stare as such, but he will just sit there or lie there and look at me. He's fed, watered, loved up, is quite calm and relaxed, but looks and looks and looks. He doesn't look away and can sit at a distance from me and just look for a good 5 mins or so. Does anyone else's dogs do this? I never know if I should be doing something or not doing something or what! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteri Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Heh, my dog also likes to stand there and stare at me. I always wonder what he's thinking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hankodie Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Lol my golden retriever does this too. My SO calls it the "creep stare" :laugh: He will lie or sit (usually lie) near me and he always makes sure he's facing my direction. If I get up and move he re-adjusts himself so he's in a position where he can still stare at me. I also have no idea what it's about :laugh: He also has a "get up off the couch and do something with me" stare where he comes RIGHT up to my face while I'm on the couch watching TV and stare. Sometimes with a drool-covered toy or plushie in his mouth which he then tries to smush in my hand. It's so hard trying to ignore him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Crazy Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Stella does look at me a lot too. I often wonder what she is thinking or why she does it. She is usually tired & it's just before she goes to sleep. Although sometimes, as she follows me everywhere I will look up & there she is just sitting & looking at me. I don't think she actually wants me to do anything or pat her or anything, she just looks & watches me. She is a quirky girl at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikira Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Jingo does this too, but I can't complain, him gazing adoringly at me the entire time we were chosing which puppy to buy was the reason he came home with us! He is six months old now and still does it. :D Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I move though, she's into mad tail thumping "mummy really loves me" mode... lol! T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 We've always called it "making movies" . Now I write it down it looks like nonsense but I just mean, that unbroken stare...like everything is being committed to memory forever. Pups and young dogs do it a lot.

Yes! hahaha if I start talking to him he will start thumping his tail happily... otherwise it's just a blank stare, then he eventually falls asleep :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 He is trying to say I can't believe what she is wearing today :laugh: No idea. Only got one who does that & it means I want to go out to the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
