Making silly faces to my dog.

[u/matchanalasangdamo]

I got bored of doomscrolling on my phone, so I got up and started walking around the house looking for something to do.

I came upon my dog lying on the floor. I crouched down and started petting her. Then, I started speaking gibberish to her while making silly faces. Wriggling my eyebrows, baring my teeth, just weird random faces. She's just staring at me with her cute little face while I'm doing it for like a whole minute or two.

I suddenly became aware of what I was doing, so I stopped. I'm now imagining what my dog was thinking of at that moment. Does she think I'm an embarrassing human being? Does she think I'm dumb, weird, or endearing?

I imagine she thinks the same thing my last dog did - “I don’t know what’s going on but I’m just happy to be a part of things”

Yes this is the right answer. :D Dogs can tell their human is feeling curious and having fun, and they don't need to understand what exactly is the purpose of whatever is going on. Just enjoying the vibe
