do our pet dogs think we're socially inept but love us anyways?

[butters]

i mean, for them, sniffing butts is an integral part of saying 'hi!' but we forgo that.
do we hurt their feelings with our rudeness, or do they just give us a pass because we're lacking in olfactory abilities?

it's a rainy day *shrugs*

My pup goes for the crotch. Most of our friends have learned to dodge left/right when they see her coming towards them. Male, female, it doesn't matter.

ours have particularly long fur, so every now and again i lift the back end up by the tail to look to see if their arses are shitty. establishes that i have similar habbits to them.

if one has a messy rear end - out comes the hose pipe.

Where did that random thought come from???

Hilarious.

My advice is for you to sniff your dog's butt every time you greet it/them and send me the video.

I'll give you my professional analysis after I study the footage and share it with a few of my colleagues.

see? we shun their friendly advances and welcomes. perhaps we give them all manner of psychological issues

lololol

sometimes our mutt gets her long fur stuck up her butt and it drives her itchy-mad and i'm the one who gets to free it. this summer, i clipped her coat short, ESPECIALLY around her rear end!

i get lots of random thoughts. once had a sigline given to me by something my husband said (HarryHill on here): "what strange machinery lies within her head" or somesuch.

think i'll pass on that it'd be on youtube before i could blink.

I'm quite sure Vetteman's dog has never experienced that sort of rudeness.

I'm pretty sure dogs see butt-sniffing as a privilege not a right so respect us more if they don't get to sniff it.

Dolphins on the other hand... they can ping us in an instant and see what we had for breakfast.

I saw a video recently about dogs bowing before they play, to show the other they're not being aggressive, just playing. Anyone see that?

My dog keeps one eye on me at all times. I must be fascinating as hell or she wants to make sure I'm not eating something.

aha! a privilege not a right... okay, i can assuage my conscience now

that's like... intellectual trespassing? or transgressing physical boundaries *eek*

playbowing? sure they do. if you know a dog, try it!

Yep. Downward dog.

Our big mutt likes to stand between peoples legs to have her backside rubbed. I does tend to shock our guests when she tries to nudge herself between their legs.
