does your dog know...

If you unwell or just abit down?

Last night i came downstairs to sleep (upright) on the sofa, cannot lay down because of shortness of breath... it feels like someone is sitting on my chest al the time.

Anyway... Chesty came down and stayed with me, most of the night laying there and watching... bless him this morning he is absoulutely knackered, he has slept most of this morning.
And has been awake now for about 2 hours... at least he has had some, i still havn't, since getting up yesterday

I have never had a dog do this before, and its quite weird.

Kirsty you must be exhausted not getting any sleep I hope you feel better soon. If I am ever ill my eldest Cassy will not leave my side but the others would just go to bed without me

Jas senses things like that. I've I'm feeling really down he will come up and nudge me and push his head under my arms, he's such a softie

Evening staffy

Luna comes and lies next to me or stays close to me if I'm not well, so yes I do think they can sense these things.

Its actually rather funny, I've just answered the same question on the labrador site I visit

Evening Anne

Yep, have to say mine seem to recognise things like illness, sadness and the likelihood of a bad mood almost before we do.

Hope you are feeling better soon

I'm so cold think I must be coming down with something just cann't seem to get warm.

Had the OH kids, from his first marriage, today so I've a busting headache as they arn't the quietest of kids.

Computers running really slow as well and its doing me head in

I hope you're feeling better soon Kirsty.

Mine do this sometimes.

All of mine have been very attentive if either of us are ill or sad. My old Benny and now Mollie have been the most intuative.
