There are a million ways our little ones express themselves to us every day. Sure they don't speak our language, but with the right education, we can read their body language as well as they hear our words.
Did you know that DOGS will::
* Widen their eyes if they feel threatened
* "Smile" as a sign of submission
* Pull their ears up if they are feeling friendly
* Smaller themselves and/or hide their tail if they feel scared
* bow towards the floor or swing their hips when they want to PLAY!
Did you know that CATS will::
* Blink their eyes rapidly to show trust
* Let their tail fall if they are unhappy or feel sick
* Flick the top of their taiols fo they sense danger
* Twitch their ears of they feel annoyed or agitated
* Knead with their paws to show they are happy
There is much to be learned from your furry friends, and a lot of your pet's mannerisms can be learned by observation. Take some time to watch your pet, especially thir little movements & facial gestures. See how they interact with other pets and humans, and how their body language changes. Posture and tail movements can tell a lot about your pet's general mood, while face and ear movements can fine tune what they are thinking!
