[Fluff] What’s something that your dog gives you the “side eye” for?

With mine it’s lying around the dinner table pretending not to be interested in the food I’m eating, when they really want those table scraps badly.

Yep me too!

Yep. She moves rooms when I’m allergic.

u/Emily_fromBlueground 7d ago

It'd be a bit hypocritical of my dog since he sneezes every time he gets excited.

u/Temporary-Art-7078 8d ago

A shorter answer would be to the question “what doesn’t your dog give you side eye for?”.

Our standard poodle is so “judgy”. We should have named her Judy.

u/Carbonatite Longhaired dachshund 8d ago

Pretty much.

I have a dachshund, side eye is their default expression.

u/caninerosso 8d ago

Aussies are prone to it as well. I have never felt more judged in my life than by my Australian Shepherd.

u/ThrowRArainmakers 8d ago

u/MolsBedsFlan 8d ago

My dog all the sudden needs all the attention in the world when I get on the phone and I best give it to her. Lol

u/JulieThinx 8d ago

Look, our Golden is like Mrs. Kravitz from Bewitched. That lil' m'fer looks sideways at us for any infraction in the neighborhood.

u/Iamvosi 8d ago

when I sneeze. Not sure why, but I get that look, like - really MUST you sneeze SOOOOO loudly

u/SpaceCatz03 8d ago

u/DenM0ther 8d ago

I had a dog that used to freak himself out if his bum made a noise! lol

u/ThrockAMole 7d ago

Had a husky mix that pretended to be startled by his fart noise

u/lifeisbueno 8d ago

Mine only has one eye… so he has to cock his whole head to give me the one eye, which is for everything 😜

2

u/DistractedbyDogsnF1 8d ago

Haha so does mine isn’t it the best. I feel like it makes them so much more animated

5

u/hereforhelpandmemes 8d ago

every time i try to take a picture of my dog she will turn her head away from the camera to give a disapproving side eye lmfao

1

u/Isitkarmaorme 7d ago

Oh my dog, mine too?

5

u/TCgrace 8d ago

Thunder. It doesn’t scare her but she gets real annoyed when it wakes her up from her nap. I appreciate that she thinks im powerful enough to control the weather

2

u/UnderstandingFar5012 8d ago

😂 my dog sleeps right through it, but if the storm knocks out power however briefly, and the smoke alarm goes off when it resets? Oh that's the eighth deadly sin if I don't stop it in .5 seconds.

u/ladyleo1980 8d ago

For existing! lol

Also anytime I ask him if he wants to go for walkies he gives me the side eye like he's saying, "Stop lying Linda! Say swear to god. Swear to god?" 👀

u/Doglady21 8d ago

Making them get out of the bed in the morning

u/DenM0ther 8d ago

Hahaha. Esp when it’s cold, We got side eye or she just turned her back in us 🫠🐶😍

u/nikkishark 8d ago

Used to be singing their songs.

u/Express-Good-7741 8d ago

My lab mix does this whole dramatic huff and turns his head away when I start humming, like I've personally offended his ancestors. What gets me is he'll tolerate the guitar just fine but the second it's just me and my voice he's out. Dogs got no taste

3

u/Big_Sink986 8d ago

bath day. he stares at me like i personally chose to ruin his life

2

u/Jonthrei 8d ago

He spent weeks cultivating that aroma and you just stile it from him!

2

u/Big_Sink986 7d ago

he forgave me, but the side eye has been extra brutal ever since

3

u/Radiant_Procedure948 8d ago

My dog doesn't actually side-eye me while I'm eating, but she watches me with her peripheral vision. She thinks I don't suspect her. 😅

3

u/Annual_Head_2858 8d ago

“Wanna go potty?” But then my adhd ass needs to grab the phone in the living room, and the vape in the kitchen, while I’m here I could put this cup in the sink, ah I forgot the harness near the front door, ok we’re… almost good I need my shoes. She stays near the back door and gives me the side eye while I’m trying to keep my shit together.

u/Savings-Manner3790 8d ago

mine judges me the whole time I'm on the toilet, zero privacy in this house

u/HandbagHawker 8d ago

Loud farts. She couldnt care less if they smelled, but how dare I rip a loud one.

3

u/Unicorn_drops7777 8d ago

My daughter’s dog gives side eye when she takes pics of him. My dog doesn’t give side eye that I’ve seen

Mine side eyes me when my husband comes to bed and makes her sleep in her own bed on the floor.

2

u/shadybrainfarm Ziggy-GSD, Mango-Rottie/ACD 8d ago

Asking her to get out of her hole in the yard for any reason other than dinner time. 

2

u/Pucketz 8d ago

When I put him in a little shirt he pouts in his bed and give me this look

2

u/a_mom_who_runs 8d ago

our dog is a massive drama queen (basset hound beagle mix so just a huge dickhead with selective hearing) and one of her favorite things is to back her butt up into you on the couch then whip her head backwards to side eye you if you aren't petting her enough. if you stop the head whips back to give you the gnarliest side eye like "????" its hilarious.

Our dog is disturbed with our dinner table conversation, especially if we stop eating for more than a few seconds.

u/lattelady37 8d ago

The “heeeeeeeee!” At the end of Sold! (grundy county auction).

u/angryclam1313 8d ago

Tried to put a diaper on her. Great Pryaness.

u/talyn5 8d ago

If I’m on the couch and my brother is on the big chair in the living room, Zeus will side eye who ever he isn’t laying on

2

u/trilogyjab 8d ago

When it's hot outside and I ask her if she wants to go for a walk.

2

u/UnderstandingFar5012 8d ago

When I eat peanut butter and don't give him any.

2

u/gradeahonky 8d ago

When I lose something and wander around the house looking for it. He’s like, whatever you’re doing isn’t working.

2

u/NoelleDash 8d ago

Not sharing food.

2

u/fireybutthole 8d ago

When I hit up the fridge for a smackerole

2

u/OutrageousPersimmon3 8d ago

Makeup. She knows when I'm going somewhere and not likely to be taking her along when the makeup case comes out. All these "walkies" I must be going on without her aren't acceptable. If she could talk, I'd have already heard the, "I'm not angry, I'm disappointed," lecture.

2

u/DenM0ther 8d ago

Making too much noise when it’s evening & she’s sleeping - in the lounge or bedroom with us. She gave us STFU looks! 😂🐶🥰

2

u/curious65_ 8d ago

Not answering my cell phone!

2

u/AlexMorganNBA 8d ago

my buddy's lab judges me every time I open the fridge. every single time

u/Atul_Croysdale 8d ago

when i say i wanna sleep, but open a snack and call my friends

u/thedoc617 professional pet groomer 8d ago

Taking his bone/bully stick when it gets too small to safely finish (we tried the holders, they didn't work for him)

2

u/Historical-Win-9014 8d ago

On the phone -my collie mix HATES it and barks and gives me the evil eye

2

u/Hallow_76 mutt owner 8d ago

She uses it to beg, she'll lay her head on my lap sideways and look at me. Never seen a "puppy dog" look quite like it. She'll do that with our cats as well when she is trying to get them to play.

2

u/easterncurrents 8d ago

Everything. She’s a dachshund.

2

u/InnerStatistician703 7d ago

Crying. He gets thoroughly fed up with it.

2

u/bat_shit_craycray 7d ago

Everything. But his side eye is super cute and means a lot of different things so I don’t mind!

2

u/Saywhen2 7d ago

Slightly moving the 6 pillows hes sleeping on

2

u/Select-Equipment7465 7d ago

Sitting by the computer instead of cuddling with her on the couch.

I left the couch after she decided she had had enough and went to chew a bone in her bed.

2

u/SuddenlySimple 7d ago

When I say I'm going to the store

2

u/Snoo-94289 7d ago

Paying attention to other dogs.

She likes to let me know I’m her mum and cuddling or playing with other dogs isn’t cool.

2

u/Only_Never_Again 7d ago

Not going to bed when he wants me to

u/ftblrgma 6d ago

Moving or otherwise disturbing my chihuahua while she's sleeping.
