Miss Squeak Talks Furbaby BathTime!


Okay so it time to bath my furbaby . 
Little Miss Mildred doesn't really like to be bathed but
I make her have one at least once a week and if I don't completely bath her I will wipe her over with a warm wet towel just to get her loose fur off of her and clip her toe nails too every few weeks. But my other furbabys in my pack are bathed once a week and  groomed every six weeks as they have fur that grows very long and if not looked after and brushed regularly it get very mattered.
 As we don't want this to happen and we live in  a hot  climate we keep them clipped for most of the year and yup I am the who get to groom most of them but not 
Old Man River Sebastion he has to go to the furbaby doctors to be sedated and clipped as he gets very stress and tries to bite anyone that tries to clip his face and its  is no a cheap execise at $170 bucks a clip every six weeks he has got other problems that also add up so his other nickname is Bling Bling as we could be covered in gold with the amount of money we have spend on him but he is worth every penny ! 
As you can see in the picture below all my furbabys like to be on the bed so its very important that they are all clean and smell nice. I am lucky to have all my furbabys  in my life they all have very different likes and dislikes just like toddlers they are just full of excitement and joy most of the time and they all know their place in the pack and who they can cuddle up to and who they can't mainly Sebastion is off limits because he is the oldest and is going blind the little furbabys 
Miss Mildred and Sir Odin want to play with him but the greats them with his teeth bared and a little grow just to let them know that he is out of bounds to them! 
But if he is cold he will allow they to sleep next to him which is funny but maybe he might just start to like them in the long run I really do hope so. 
Miss Mildred and I would love to hear any of your stories about your furbabys bath time adventures 
just let us know in the comments below and thank you so very much for reading my blog about Miss Mildreds adventures in the big world !

Miss Squeak Talks Furbaby Body Language!



 Today I thought I would talk about the body language of our furbabys so lets get started,
I’m certain you perceive how human intention and emotion work as a result of you experience them each yourself on a daily basis. But however are you able to tell what a furbabys emotions and intentions are?
Luckily, furbabys cannot hide either one from us. We are those who might not perceive how clearly the dog is communicating. For a dog, feeling is displayed through body language, whereas intention is displayed through motion.

When a furbaby isn't in a calm state, it solely has 3 instinctual movements: fight, flight, or rejection. In fight mode, the dog moves forward, and in flight mode it runs away. A dog might or might not move away in rejection, however it'll do everything else to not face the situation at hand.
Fight, flight, and rejection are the standard terms that animal behaviorists use, however they could be somewhat deceptive as a result of the connotations they have. In a different way to consider them is as advance, retreat, and ignore.

An excited furbaby and an aggressive furbaby might both move forward toward an individual or different animal, however one of them is playful and therefore the alternative one is threatening. Likewise, a furbaby might run away in concern or it's going to run away to begin a game of chase with another furbaby.
This is wherever the furbaby’s emotion comes into it and combines with the dog’s intention to form the dog’s overall energy and, as I discussed above, dogs categorical their emotions through body language.

Every a part of the furbaby is engaged, however the necessary ones to look at are the head, ears, tail, and back. The higher a furbaby’s head, ears, and tail are, the more dominant it's feeling, and therefore the lower they are, the more submissive or unsure the furbaby is feeling.

Another issue to look at for is tension, significantly within the dog’s back and legs. The more tense a dog is, the higher its energy level, sort of a spring being force taut. In each cases, they reach a degree where they snap — the spring shoots back to its regular size, and therefore the dog lunges forward.

A good example of a “fight” intention changed by body language to form positive energy is once a dog does a play bow to interact another dog. The motion is forward, however the front of the furbaby’s body is low to the bottom. The intention is excitement however the feeling is friendly, that the energy is playful.

Here’s an opposite example: a furbaby might have its head, ears, and tail all raised. maybe it’s showing its teeth, and perhaps the hackles on its back are up similarly, but it's slowly backing away. The body language is showing aggression, however the intent is flight. Despite the aggressive show, this is often a dog that's scared of something.

It can be simple to misinterpret a furbaby’s energy if we don’t think about each both and intention. Some dogs express extreme submission by pulling their lips back to point out their teeth. Now, lots of individuals would see the dog’s teeth and assume that it’s on the brink of attack, but they’re missing the remainder of what the dog is saying.
If a dog shows its teeth but they’re together, the ears are force back along the head, the eyes are squinting, the dog lowers its body and leans away, then the dog is really retreating submissively and practicing rejection. Likewise, a dog might come back charging at you, however if its body is relaxed, its tail is level and wagging, and there’s no tension within the body, then it's showing excitement.

Furbabys can’t tell us in words what they’re thinking and feeling because they don’t have to. They’re expressing themselves constantly through motion and body language — intention times emotion equals energy. Once we learn the way to know these, a full world of communication with our dogs opens up.
Stay calm, and listen to your furbaby!

Miss Squeaks How To Make Your Furbaby Laugh!

 Hello everyone hope you are all well and happy, Miss Mildred and I have been having lots of fun this week as I have been playing with her lots this week while teaching her some new tricks but while I was playing with her i thought she was laughing so I started to do some research on the matter and found a very cool article and the said subject hence this little blog on show to make your dog laugh and as I am a little weird and silly I have given it a go and yes it works very well ! I found getting into the puppy play bow on all fours with my butt in the air with the breathing pattern worked a treat with my little Miss Mildred I also am going t talk bait about dreaming and furbaby smiles so let stet started !

Here are a few things I think about !
As your furbaby slumbers by your side, and starts to twitch and wiggle is she dreaming of you? Will she feel guilty concerning stealing your cut of meat off the kitchen counter and ingestion it for dinner? What is she trying to mention with that annoying bark? Does she like looking at the TV?

After decades of analysis, neuroscientists have begun to answer such queries, giving us access to the once-secret inner lives of our furbaby companions and even translating their barks and wags so mere humans can comprehend them.

At the forefront of this effort is Stanley Coren, a behaviourist from the University of British Columbia, who draws on decades of research to explore the psychological motivations behind dogs’ everyday behaviours, additionally as what science says concerning their barks, thoughts, and dreams.

Do Dogs Experience identical Emotions as People?

Dogs have identical brain structures that manufacture emotions in humans. they have identical hormones and endure identical chemical changes that humans do throughout emotional states. Dogs even have the hormone oxytocin, that in humans is attached  love and feeling. thus it looks reasonable to counsel that dogs even have emotions kind of like ours. However, it's necessary to not go overboard: The mind of a dog is roughly similar to that of a person's who is two to 2½ years old. A toddler that age clearly has emotions, however not all potential emotions, since several emerge later within the path to adulthood.

Dogs undergo their biological process stages rather more quickly than humans do, attaining their full emotional vary by the time they're four to six months recent. very similar to a person's youngster, a dog has the basic emotions: joy, fear, anger, disgust, excitement, happiness, distress, and even love. A dog doesn't have, and can not develop, a lot of complicated emotions, like guilt, pride, contempt, and shame, however.

You might argue that your dog has shown proof of feeling guilt. in the usual scenario, you come home and your dog starts slinking around and showing discomfort, and you then notice his smelly brown deposit on your bedroom floor. It's natural to conclude that the dog’s actions show a sense of guilt concerning its transgression. However, this can be merely the more basic feeling of worry. The dog has learned that when you appear and his faeces are visible on the ground, bad things happen to him. What you see is that the dog’s worry of punishment; he can never feel guilt. He will never feel shame, thus feel free to decorate him in that ridiculous party costume.

For example, a dreaming pointer could instantly begin looking for game, a sleeping spaniel could flush an imaginary bird, and a dreaming Doberman pinscher could pick a fight with a dream thief.

It is an odd undeniable fact that little dogs have additional dreams than massive dogs do. A dog as little as a poodle could dream once each ten minutes, whereas an outsized dog like a working dog or a great Dane may have regarding about hour between dreams. On the opposite hand, the large dog’s dreams last longer

Do Dogs Smile?

In the minds of the general public, the equivalent of a dog’s smiling is when he's wagging his tail. However there's truly one canine facial expression that comes near what we tend to mean by smiling in humans. During this expression, slightly opened jaws reveal the dog’s tongue covering out over his front teeth. frequently the eyes take on a teardrop form at the same time, as if being force upward slightly at the outer corners. it's an informal expression that's typically seen once the dog is relaxed, playing, or interacting socially, particularly with folks. the instant any anxiety or stress is introduced, the dog’s mouth closes and you can not see the tongue.

Dogs also are capable of laughing, and they generally do thus once they are playing. Canine laughter begins with the Furbabys equivalent of smiling but additionally includes a sound that's very similar to panting. Several years ago, animal behaviorist Patricia Simonet at Sierra nevada school by lake tahoe recorded those sounds while dogs played. On analyzing the recordings, she found that they involved a broader range of frequencies than does regular dog panting. In one experiment, Simonet noticed  that puppies romped for joy when they heard recordings of those sounds; in another, she was ready to show that these same sounds helped to calm dogs in an animal shelter.





How To Make Your Dog Laugh

Humans will imitate sounds of dog laughter, however it takes conscious watching of mouth shape to induce the sound pattern right. manufacturing dog laughter properly, says Coren, can create your dog sit up, wag his tail, approach you from across the space, and even laugh along.

Round your lips slightly to form a “hhuh” sound. Note: The sound has got to be breathy with no actual voicing, that means that if you touch your throat whereas creating this sound, you should not feel any vibration.
Use an open-mouthed smiling expression to form a “hhah” sound. Again, breathe the sound; don't voice it.
Combine steps one and two to form canine laughter. It ought to sound like “hhuh-hhah-hhuh-hhah.”
