The teenage equivalent of 'no one EVER listens to me in this house'. Well, I tried to warn them

Oooh, you arent pregnant are you? Supposedly some dogs can sense that.

And great post marisco - so true!

Not even a remote chance in Hell!

Btw marisco...I've printed that out and stuck it on the front of his crate.

His crate is his den, the door never gets shut. It's big and is covered with an duvet (duvet cover matches the living room decor ) and has a comfy mattress, a duvet and pillow and his toys in it, it's like a cave and he loves it. Des res for dogs. :rotfl:

You were suggesting that your dog may be sensing you are ill . Well, I really hope you're not but you said your boob was swollen , you're not breastfeeding are you ? If one of my boobs was swollen I'd be going to the doctor just to have them checked out .

He seems to be fine, he's not doing anything untoward, still eating/sleeping/poo-ing like he always does. No itchy ears, sore paws, hard tum etc etc. Nowt.

He was at the vet 3 weeks ago to get his paw looked at, all fine.

This may or may not have anything to do with anything but late last night I had a very sore boob.:o it was the kind of sore boob you get when you breastfeed and are late feeding so the milk builds up and your boob feels like it's swollen to twice it's usual size. Iyswim. I actually took some tablets and went to bed because of it. No idea what that was all about, I haven't had it before and it seems ok today, a little tender but not sore as such.

Now this may have had absolutely nothing to do with anything, I'm not actually saying he was picking up on something to do with this, I'm just wondering if it was a possible.

Other than a sore boob (sorry for sharing that :rotfl:) and the fact I made weird noises with a guitar, nothing was different for him.

Just one of those weird days I guess, he's back to ignoring me this morning and is in his bed again, which is where he is usually at this time. All is well.

its entirely possible he picked up on the sore boob! and that you aren't worried about it so he has decided that its ok!

alias - if the tenderness doesn't clear up its worth mentioning to the GP or a practice nurse. Boobs shouldn't get sore like that for no reason. it may well be a simple cyst - yet a dog CAN pick up on this.
lol - don't go into the surgery and say 'Dr, my dog thinks I am not well...........'!!!!!!!! (sorry, sometimes my sense of humour takes me into visualisations which make ME giggle).

I hope you don't mind but I've put this on facebook, it did make me giggle.

Mind you, being single no one cares if I grow hair in strange places either!
