How sweet!

are they waiting like that?
My neighbor's dogs start their greeting barks when the man is on the road a block away and out of sight! Amazing.

Cute kids!

I see it all the time. They are next to my front yard and they serve as guard dogs for me as well so I usually look out the window when they bark. If no one is there, sometimes I eventually see the neighbor's truck come up the street from a place they can't see. I can't explain how they know but they do.

Maybe it's the sound of the car, but that's not the only thing. A friend's German Shepard could tell the way her husband was dressed (i.e., a business suit in the morning), that he was going to be away for a long time. When he wore jeans or shorts, it was happy time for the dog.

knows when I put my shoes on close to back door that there is a 50% chance I am going to play with him.

the study put cameras on dogs when their people left. they did not tell the owners.

They hung around like dogs do until something happened. Cameras followed their people. The moment that their people said they were going home, the dogs got up and went to the nearest window. Over and Over and Over.

I just got a rescue chihuahua that is the image of my dachshund, Robby. I have a rescue kitteh and they are learning to play.

Lucky me. Lucky you, op. What lovely brown eyed doggehs you have.

the school to meet us, or waited, watching out the window for us. They know.

And that's the truth. I do not know what our kitteh is picking up on but he always knows when his mommy is coming home.

I swear I keep her carrier in the garage or in the van. I don't know what cue I give her since I leave the house for other errands and I don't have a "V-E-T" outfit. And she's normally velcro-ed to us--real attachment disordered sweetiepie from a rescue organization.

But somehow she (and her predecessor) _knows_ when you intend to take her to the vet. I could reach down to pick her up any other time (which she loves) and she's great with it. If I reach to get her because I secretly know I'm taking her to a warm carrier with pre-scented Mommy blankets in the van to take her to the V-E-T, she runs and hides. No, take that back. If I even walk in her direction, she runs and hides.

I must be overly placating or something, feeling nervous that she's going to hide and I can't find her in time, and picks up on it. Otherwise I can't figure it out. How does she know?

We're not allowed to say the actual word in our house. Or write it here. She might somehow "know."

She's got me trained.

I have an elaborate routine for the vet visit. Carrier out of sight etc., and then I try to act real casual and like I'm interested in other things before picking her up. That doesn't work either. Yes - we are trained! Oh well - if it makes them happy!

the dog, a schnauzer, immediately ran under my roommate's bed. I think his master plan was to hide there until my roommate's mother gave up looking for him and left him behind!

Anyway, my roommate and her mother went out, got into their car which was parked where you could see it from our window, and drove off. The dog remained under the bed and didn't make a sound. Fifteen minutes later, he suddenly shot out from under the bed and went to the window. I did, too, and there was my roommate and her mother parking the car -- and did I mention that our dorm room was on the third floor?

Makes you feel special too
We only have one and if my wife is running late coming home from work she'll be pacing the floor going up to the door and then looking at me like where is she.

I would work from home in a garage office, I noticed the dog would always get up and sit by the wrought iron gate at 2:45 every weekday, the reason was the neighborhood kids would get home at 2:50 and reach through and pet him.

Especially the sweet little Scotty . They have such cute little bearded faces .

and it doesn't matter how odd the hour. She ALWAYS knows, even if it isn't my car and I got a ride home. She is peeping out of the window for me.

He greets you at the door, says Hi and always answers a question.

He's indoors lately because of this awful winter, but his favorite spot is Watch Cat on the front porch Guard Rail. Whenever it warms up outside and the sun comes out, he comes and tells me it's time to take his guard position on the porch for a few hours.

that cats know when they are going to the vet because you are doing something minute that cues them.

My cats know too no matter how hard I try (or not try), to avoid doing anything differently.

No matter how nonchalant we were, she figured it out.

She figured out when we were going to give her pills, too. She would hide in the most remote spot in the house.

I miss her. We had to help her over the bridge at sixteen.

How sweet is that. Just adorable.

Love it that they are all in black & white! I had a totally black/white kitty family until I had a foster failure with a tabby Maine Coon. Now I have a calico mama + her 2 B/W boys and 1 Calico kits family. That little bit of orange made a big difference!

Beautiful doggies.

bet they give you a noisy welcome. i have 2 ratty sisters that are the most attentive little things ever.

They probably are cute, but really, mooning me?

each day Her husband says about 12:15 their 4 dogs go to the front door and start crooning the Hurry up Mom song. They know when she is to arrive at home. If for some reason she is late it becomes a day at the baseball stadium.

...no matter how rough a day it's been, they're ALWAYS happy to see you. Same with our rescue pups.

our daughter would be home from school. He needed to go outside and wait for her in the yard.

Rescued babies ard the bestest!!!

three different breeds, yet their rear ends match up pretty well! LOL! and all three are black and white..

very very adorable!

Dayum! SOOOOOOOO wonderful. Aren't our quadrupeds the best? We have one dog and four cats - all from the animal shelter or abandoned at the vet's front door. Damn - I wish we could rescue all of 'em, but one can only do as much as one can do.

and adorable!

LOL

Cuties!

What kind of bastard leaves a dog without food and water????? Bad karma for him/her.




The three look adorable.

They aren't mean; all rescues, too - and they know one when they see one.......like McKinley, next door, who's 1/2 McKenzie River huskie, and half Goldie............. and let's them ride around when the gate's open.

BBBBBBBBeautiful, gorgeous pups! Send some puppie hugs north, ok?

I gave out hearts to anyone commenting on the post who didn't already have one.

Is Dug a wire haired fox terrier? Sure looks like it in the first picture.

You are a lucky man to be greeted by those three beauties. My dog greets me every single day when I come through the door which is more than I could say for my ex.

from the time I was a little girl. My first dog was a wire haired fox terrier that I got for my birthday one year. He was a real handful, but I loved that dog! He was so easy to train and picked up on tricks quickly.

I especially love the first one!!

They are so beautiful!
