Your Dogs Emotions - Things Every Dog Owner Should Know

Your dog is more similar to you in their emotions than in their mentality. Some of their emotional reactions are so much like ours, that we tend to humanize them. The dogs emotions are visibly expressed in his eyes and face, his ear and tail movements, his posture, and general behavior. Sometimes they are vocally expressed as well. Your dog can feel and express the same emotions as we do: love, hate, joy, sorrow, grief, anxiety, jealousy, remorse, anger, fear, and even more subtle ones such as distrust and resignation.

Pet dogs have an endearing tendency to imitate their owner's emotional reactions, which may not weigh much in an argument, but it certainly offers much in moral support. They are no more individual in expressing their emotions than we are. Dogs approach and seek contact with objects and beings that inspire friendly feelings, and avoid or shy away from those they fear. Often a dog will pretend not to see a person or animal he dislikes. A crouching position and a watchful eye mean that he has not yet made up his mind to trust or distrust.

Some facial expressions are much like ours. Worried frowns, angry glares, adoring gazes, suspicious squints, questioning looks, seductive glances, humor, and even genuine smiles. A smile, accompanied by half-closed eyes and ears held low signifies intense pleasure. Dogs express their feelings through body language more so than facial expressions. A wagging tail and friendly grin are invitations to approach and perhaps make friends, while a snarl, a fixed stare, stiff, straight legs and tail are warnings to keep your distance. The question of distance is important to the dog because of territorial concerns and of survival instincts.

Dogs usually give voice to the emotions, and their meanings are generally clear. A happy dog gurgles or squeals with pleasure. A gentle whine says "please", and snarling is definitely hostile. Dogs yelp from pain or fear, whine from frustration or pain, and sigh for the same reasons we do. Puppy cries are easiest to interpret, they scream when they are too hot, whimper when cold, and protest loudly when hungry. Barking is usually done to attract attention or to work excess energy if the dog is constrained such as in a kennel. Dogs exchange information among themselves less by voice than by a wide range of facial expressions, body postures and gestures.

An owner who takes the trouble to observe his dog and pay him the courtesy of listening to him, can establish a simple two-way communications system with his pet. Canine messages are usually very elementary, as he asks much less of us than we do of him. "I'm hungry", "I'm thirsty, "I need to go out", or "Come with me", are among the messages he manages to convey very well, considering his limited means. His most eloquent utterance is perhaps the emotional gurgle or barks that mean to say, "It's about time you came home, I've missed you!"

How to Build a Log Bed - Things to Consider in Building a Log Bed

It's pretty to learn how to build a log bed. Though you need to have some supplies and a simple plan beforehand to make the building process easier.

I always find this kind of bed somewhat charming and cozy so when there was a point that I had the spare logs to build one, I immediately made a trip to the hardware store and give a shot at building a log bed.

Dog Collars

Based on my experience, there are things you need to keep in mind when building this kind of bed. At the top of my head are:

SIZE

You can build a log bed around the size of your available logs or customize it to the size of your mattress or maybe even the size of your available space. That's the beauty of learning how to build a log bed, you get to customize it to the way you want it.

TOOLS

To build a log bed you need to get some tools in hand. There are some tools which can easily be found right in your own tool box like a chisel and saw while there are other tools which you have procure as this mainly needed for refining of wood.

Some of these tools are:

Tenon Maker

Tenon maker is to a log as pencil sharpener is to a pencil. Tenon maker comes in varying capability suited for the different sizes of logs. Sure, you can make do without a tenon maker but that require far more effort and time.

Draw Knives

Draw knives can be a straight knife which is used for stripping wood or it can be a curved knife which can be used for peeling. This tool is specifically used to peel and strip the bark of the logs and of course, it can also help shaping the log in whichever design you desire.

Bit Set

I'm talking about the bit set specifically used in cutting wood. This may be used with a hand or electric drill.

DESIGN

It would do well if you have a ready design beforehand. A good bed plan proved to be a tremendous help personally when I was learning how to build a log bed. After having made the decision as to the size of the bed, the plan has helped me with its step-by-step instruction with some pictures thrown in to avoid some confusion.
