Momo here. Ever wonder what your dog is saying to you? I wonder what my human is saying to me all the time. My people talk to me (usually in a high baby voice) and all I hear is a lot of "Blah blah blah Treat?" or "Blah Blah Momo, Blah Blah Blah good girl!"
Ive learned that all I gotta do is run around in a couple circles, sit down a few times or even shake my butt and out comes the gushy voice. Man, Ive got them wrapped around my little duclaw. For all you humans that are curious about dog talk, Ill break it down for you.
You see: A head tilt (sometimes accompanied with a wimper/bark) Dog speak: "Man that burger looks tasty... You wont be able to resist this adorable face!"
You see: Your dog wagging its tail circles (in my case, my whole butt wiggles). Dog speak: "Where the heck have you BEEN! I am so glad you are finally home! or "OH.EM.GEE!!! Is that new toy/treat for ME!!"
You see: Your pup running like a mad woman around the dinner table. Dog speak: "CHASE ME!! Im a hot piece of doggy tail and you wont be able to catch me! Go on, I dare you to try!"
You see: Your dog laying down with head on paws. Dog speak: "You need to notice how cute I am and give me more treats. Now."
You see: Your dogs ears and eyes perked up. Dog speak: "Did someone say treat?" or "Dont you even think of going somewhere without me."
You see: Your dog kicking and barking in his sleep. Dog speak: "Almost. Got. The. Rabbit. Run. Faster." Check out poor Bizkit, he was so close to catching it, he ran into the wall! Those dang rabbits are sneaky little fellas.
You see: Your dog licking your face. Dog speak: "I love you a LOT"
Ok... it really means "I love you a lot because you ate something yummy and left some behind for me!"
xoxo,
Momo
