Now this is a proper showerthought…
Never would have come up with this on my own. I think you’re probably right.
I feel like dogs tend to to give us the benefit of the doubt about everything, never jump to thinking we’re crazy.
If they don’t already think we’re nuts for wearing clothes.
Why are they putting on fake fur?
To trap our smells for their enjoyment
My beagle hates it when I do laundry or if my goldendoodle gets perfume at the groomer. Everything MUST be stinky according to the beagle. He does his best to make everything have his hound smell by rubbing all over everything and everyone. I’d be mad if he wasn’t so damn cute when he does it. He makes dumb little noises and gives me side eye as he wiggles around like a doofus
There are soo many things that dogs would find very confusing, if they had the capacity to analyze that way. What if they knew that all of our interpersonal interactions were governed mostly by ego, shame, and pride?
I don’t believe all our interactions are governed but ego, shame, and pride.
I certainly just exist with my friends all the time and we talk without filter and just exist together.
Gotta make room for new smells
Well dog, at least I have nuts, ya eunuch.
Or collecting their poo.
You think I wash.
