How well do you know your fur baby

We are famous for our unconditional love, but do you know if we are really happy or not, so here sure some tips to help you out .

"The eyes are the doors to our souls" have you heard that saying ? Well not only is this very true in humans it is also true with us too. It is said that when we are happy not only do the eyes look bright and full of life they will have a normal shape, when we are sad or there is something wrong they change shape , so you need to pay attention to your fur babies shape and appearance of the eyes.

Also when  we are happy our bodies are very relaxed, so look at the muscles are they relaxed or tensed up, just because we are playing with you it really doesn't mean to say we are happy we will play regardless. 

Another way to tell if we are happy is to take a good look at our bum, if we are happy it will be held high up in the air and our tail will be wagging intensely in some dogs lie me the whole body moves (I really have no control over this at all and it always makes mum and dad laugh so I then tend to wag it more, if that's at all possible).

When we are happy we will also come to you and throw ourselves on our backs wanting our belly rubbed (a lot) this is a clear sign that we are very happy.

Another sign is and many humans do not know this that a content fur baby is just happy to sit by you with his head on your lap. A relaxed mouth is always a good sign that we are happy and in some breeds we have our mouths slightly apart this is usually though she  we are outside running around as we use this as a way of cooling down. And some breeds like me smile a lot and i mean a lot apparently I'm always smiling.

Also when we are happy we love to eat so if we are off our food that is generally a good sign that there is something wrong and might be a good idea to have us checked over by the vet. 

Sleep is also another good way to tell if we are happy and contented we will sleep well and we won't move around too much, if we are fidgeting and this doesn't include our funny dreams either that is normal by fidgeting I  mean moving uncomfortably or we wake a log and change position it might mean that our bed is in a cold place or too hot a place or untidy without buried its worth checking that out before you start worrying too much.

Well I hope this little insight helps and makes you look at us a bit differently  because usually if we are unhappy it normally means that there could be something wrong so this is worth knowing.
