Heavy Head Syndrome :)

[Pam]

Back in the days before it got dark early (about a week ago ) Bella was accustomed to having a game of fetch in the back yard with either my hubby or me after dinner. She would watch us eat and then come to my husband's leg, as he started finishing up his meal, and lay her head on his leg, just to remind him that she was "ready." Nowadays it's too dark after we eat dinner to go play but she still comes and lays her head on his leg. We have started to refer to it as Bella is doing the "heavy head" again meaning she is resting her head on someone's leg at the table. We have to laugh because her head is totally at rest and actually feels heavy. LOL! Does anyone else have a dog that does this? This is probably not behavior that some might encourage but Bella "has us tightly wrapped" and we have no shame to admit it! LOL!

Oh, Pam!! We know the "heavy head syndrome" very well!! At least Lilly does!!! She doesn't do it for playing fetch, but when she thinks she has been ignored long enough, she comes for a good kiss and scratch (mostly the scratch, I think). What a great name for this!!!!

Shiloh does this. She sits in the corner near the table quietly. When she thinks we should be almost done, she quietly gets under the table and lays her head on your leg. When you look down, you see these huge eyes looking up at you saying, how about me??? LOL The bad thing is that her head is quite big!! When the meal is almost over, Killian just stands next to the table and looks at your food because he is very tall and his head is over the table. Never a dull moment over here.

Bull does this while we're eating. He just looks up at me with this "see how cute I am-ya have to give me some for being this cute" look. (and it works alot of times )

Beethoven does this from the moment she was tall enough to reach our legs and lay her head on our lap w/ her huge eyes looking up at us and well,.... of course the food that we're eating is her target. Anyway, this is still so cute.....! Now, i have a name for it..!!

Keegan does this when I am on the computer!

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Drake does that sometimes when Andrew and I are on the couch and there is no room for him to hop up! It's his way of telling us to make room for him

[Twisterdog]

My dogs do this, the one that are tall enough anyway. And if I continue to ignore them, if I'm typing, for example, they will then siiiiiiiiiigh.

Lolly does it to me while I'm at the computer. Reece does it a lot, but he has to stand on his hind legs to be tall enough to do it. They also rest their heads on me while we're in bed sleeping.

Cody does a fine imitation of Shiloh!! Never a bark or whimper, just that "heavy head" on my leg and those BIG, blue eyes looking up at me in AGNONY! Hard to resist giving her just a crumb!

[Crikit]

Smudge does that all the time, usually he just wants a scratch behind the ears but other times he does it to the bed so he can watch me eat something or he's waiting for me to move over a little bit so can get up.

Winter on the other does that and also heavy body, her whole body collapses on me at times, that can be a little freaky to see falling at your face.

OMG!!!! Anna, those pictures are so FUNNY!!!! They look so precious, I feel like kissing and biting that cold nose!!
Cute cute cute

We don't have the heavy head here, but we have the scratch and wait. Daisy will stand up against me or Don and take her paw and scratch us with a very disgusted look, like are we ready yet. Their habit is almost the same, after dinner we take them both out on the patio and throw the ball for them, and they don't care now that it's dark, its the same to them, time to play. LOL

By the way it's so nice to see them get back to their ole self now, Daisy has started back licking Perry's ears, and she is back to knocking on the back door when she wants to come in, and Perry is back to wanting to play with Daisy and chasing her through the house and taking her toys away again. lol
