Does your dog try to comfort you when you’re sad?
Recently my senior dog Ace has been doing well healthwise.
However, in early 2016 things weren’t looking so great as well as on one of those evenings I knelt down on the floor, held my dog as well as wept.
That was the very first time I’d wept since Ace had been ill. I let myself sob for 2 or 3 minutes, my deal with in his fur, then pulled myself together.
Ace is not one of those dogs who tries to offer comfort.
If anything, my crying makes him uncomfortable.
He doesn’t lick my deal with or nuzzle me.
That night, he really turned away from me as well as grunted a little. like he was annoyed.
Oh, Ace. Not a cuddler.
My feline Beamer, nevertheless …
If Beamer sees me crying, he always tries to sit in my lap as well as get truly close. He purrs as well as purrs, as well as he did so the night I was sobbing over my dog.
Beamer lets me hold him as long as I want. He likes to be held. It may not be so much about comforting me however taking advantage of somebody willing to hold him! Either way, it is nice. Beamer has offered comfort many, many times.
And then there’s my feline Scout …
I’m quite sure Scout doesn’t even notice when I’m sad. Either way, he truly doesn’t care.
They’re all individuals, I guess.
So I believed I’d bring up the concern here.
