It amazes me how "expressive" dogs can be with their communication to us dumb humans. Heidi makes it very clear when it is time to get up and more so when it is time to go to bed. After she has had her nightly walk, she thinks we should immediately go to bed. She gets treats then so she is ready whether I am or not! If I do not head for bed immediately she makes it very clear that she is impatiently waiting.....I am expecting her to start "stomping" her paw in exasperation any time now.
If I do not play with her when she wants, then she will bring me her squeaky toy and start squeaking it and will not stop till I stop whatever I am doing and pay attention to her. If she feels I have been on the computer too long, she will come in and simply jump up on my lap and block the keyboard (a laptop on my lap and a dog on my lap....now my lap may be big...but not that big)...two guesses who wins. The laptop gets set aside and Heidi gets her attention.
She is a ball of fire, so much fun, so loving and such a happy dog, that I just cherish every day I have with her. She is the darling of the RV park that I manage and every day makes new friends. All this from a rescue dog that had been abused. What a turn around and what a joy to have her in my life.
