Yesterday evening, we had finished our dinner and were watching the TV news as is our habit. As soon as Ray is satisfied that our evening “rituals” are complete, he will go over to “his” chair and curl up… but not yesterday. For some reason he decided to surprise us, and me in particular! Those are my legs and feet in the pics!
I could be quite touched at the show of affection, or quite perturbed that he was making sure I couldn’t move without him knowing about it! Thoughts anybody?
Does it matter? It’s cute either way and impawsibly adorable.

Hi Monika. It really doesn’t matter does it. I was quite taken with it regardless of the possible motive!

Just like people, dogs grow and change. This may be a new phase in his life. Have you figured out Ray’s love language?

Hi Amy – We’ll get the tail wag sometimes if we talk to him… especially if he recognizes food words! We get serious vocals if “the pack” separates for a while, and a resounding reception later! He also licks our hands regularly, and tries to reach our face if one of us been away for awhile (and he can reach that height without too much effort!). He has brought us a toy, but that is very rare event. He rolls over for a tummy rub without too much provocation! Sitting close, or curling up alongside us? Yup! I think he likes us! 🙂

I read somewhere that a dog leaning on you is their way of giving you a hug. Could be just wishful thinking but it is a nice thought 🙂

More likely to be a demonstration of needing to be close to you – bless him!

He just wanted to be close I expect………. and make sure you didn’t go anywhere without him knowing it!

Awh!! An affectionate gesture for sure, BUT I believe both thoughts are correct.
He wanted to show some extra affection but at the same time remind you that he still rules! I think he was smirking in his sleep. 😉

Dogs sense if you are sad, stressed, etc. Maybe Ray is getting a vibe from you. Or maybe he just really loves you, which is the option I’d go with 😊

He just wanted to give you a little extra love. I’m assuming Carol was able to sneak around and get the picture.

Yes. She was sitting next to me and on her iPad. She just reached out with the iPad and took one pic, and then got up to take the other one. 🙂
