Quote of the Day “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
Hello Thursday.
So. The strangest things has been happening lately. Around mid afternoon Lucy the puggle dog walks into the office and sits down in the corner behind the door. I can’t tell if she’s been up to something and is giving herself a time out in the naughty corner, of if this is her way of saying Come on Mom… it’s time to get off the computer and snuggle with me.
Does YOUR dog do this? What do you think is going on in that sweet little mind of her’s?
Have a great day everyone,
♥ Mavis

Awesome! Thank you for posting the All Recipes magazine deal again! I have been considering ordering it- since my All You magazine is no more. 🙂
Mavis says
It’s a great deal! Glad you could use it.
Tamara says
Our Suzy goes to her crate with her stolen loot (pen, pencil, sock, important paper), or when she has chewed something forbidden; however, you would see evidence of that. She also hides in the crate when frightened, facing out.
No telling about Lucy – but what a pitiful/adorable photo!
Mavis says
Pitifully adorable pretty much sums it up!
Kathy says
Not to be an alarmist, but I had a poodle mix dog that started going into the laundry room while I was at work. I would find her there when I returned home, and had no idea how many hours she had been in there. One day I came home and discovered her in the laundry room having seizures, and she did not survive. I believe she went there when she felt unwell, maybe felt safer in a small area.
MarinaRose says
Hey Mavis, where did you get that adorable chicken soup mug in the pic?
Mavis Butterfield says
The Chicken Soup for the Soul peeps sent it to me.
Julie Wilkinson says
I agree with that is not normal behavior. Watch her and her other habits to see if a trip to the vet is not needed. I had just read some articles on this alarming symptom. Dr. Will Falconer DMV in Austin Texas, discusses this behavior on his blog. He is a homeopathic veterinarian.
Kat says
I like how she chooses a door with windows to hang out behind, smart girl. Maybe the spot feels warm to her or blocks a draft. I have 5 dogs and they all do some interesting things at times.
Tracy says
Lucy is adorable, by the way. When a dog ‘hides’ or assumes a position that is very out of the way, I wouldn’t discount pain or discomfort. I also don’t know what went on in the house just prior the her tucking herself away like that. I used to own a rescue Great Dane that would just crawl under anything available when voices were loud — even if laughing or cheering. She had had a rough time of it prior, and just couldn’t bear loud voices at all. Were her bowel movements normal, eating and drinking normally, etc.
Deb says
Lucy is adorable; I enjoy your pictures/postings of her so much. But since animals can’t tell you if anything is wrong, I’d suggest you call your family vet and see what he says since this is relatively new and unusual behavior. She certainly looks pitiful in your most recent pic. As they say, peace of mind…priceless.
Renay says
So our cat will walk up to us and look at us then start walking away and then turning back and looking at us. We call this ‘recruiting’ and she is looking for a lap. Pretty cute.
Em says
Renay, I love that term for that behavior!!
debbie in alaska says
Dogs are den animals. Maybe she likes the small space. I tend to worry easily about my pups, but in this case I would worry if she was exhibiting other out of ordinary behavior. Some dogs are just quirky 🙂 My youngest husky sleeps in the oddest positions and in the oddest palces, It’s her trademark. 😉
clickercricket says
i agree with debbie in alaska. dogs are pack animals and evolved living with their pack in holes they have dug into the ground. it is hard wired behavior…which means they will often do something that seems weird without knowing why they do it…and which looks even more weird to us. this is why lots of dogs like their crates, or will find and hang out in an enclosed space just to feel “comfy”, sleep, or alleviate stress. that little spot looks a lot like a comfy den to me. she probably would be even happier if the whole family crawled in there together and cuddled up for a “nap”. put an old dog blanket in there with a few of her toys and see if she may take a nap there on her own. learning hard wired dog behavior is fascinating. have you never seen a dog find a disgusting substance and begin to roll in it to their heart’s delight? the dog behaviorists are still not in 100% agreement on that one.
JC says
My dog sits in the corner in the kitchen while I cook. I can’t tell if its because he’s afraid of my cooking or if he’s hoping I will drop something, but he looks terrified the whole time, every single day!
Mavis Butterfield says
I’d say he’s intensely watching so see if you drop anything. So stressful!!! 🙂
Jen Y says
Lucy is hilarious! I think she’s trying to lay the guilt on you.
I have a little morkie, Maggie. When she’s ready for a nap/bedtime she goes from person to person whining or sighing dramatically until someone either lays down or goes to bed with her. We used to have a sweet black lab that she would snuggle with when we weren’t available but our lab was old & died last fall. Poor Maggie & Lucy.
