I'm with you. I deeply wish they could communicate with us. They stare at us and try to tell us telepathically and I feel we don't listen to them.
My boy has developed a recent habit of hating going in the car. He doesn't need to go in often, but when we do need to go in the car he hides and then shakes. I feel awful. Like I'm not listening to him. ~
Thank you for being a good dog mum, you do your best for your girls!
