Aren't pets supposed to somehow sense when you are sick and behave accordingly?
My dog knocked my bowl of soup off the kitchen counter while I was in the bathroom. Bean soup all over the floor! So not only did I not get my soup, now I have to MOP!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

You call that a dog? Isn't that why you get one, so you don't *have* to mop?
Next time eat something the dog likes.

Maybe your dog sensed you were going to have an upset stomach and that bean soup was the wrong choice for comfort food.

Aw-w-w! Poor baby! He was probably just trying to check out what you were eating, maybe taste it to see if its good. This has nothing to do with you being sick in his mind. He can't talk, so that was his way of saying, "Hey, whatcha eating?"I've been very impressed with the intelligence of dogs. I actually asked one if she was a person in a dog's body. I really did! She was just so freaking smart! I waited until we were alone. Alas, she didn't answer.
She was a black Lab of a friend of mine. This dog came up and 'told me' that the really, really old cat she lived with who wasn't supposed to be outside had gotten out and was in the back the yard. She also 'told me' when the little dog got out because someone didn't close the door good. Both times she bumped me with her nose until I stood up, then she would walk a little ways and look back at me until I followed her. She would also respond to anything you said like she completely understood. It was really erie.
I'd like to have a dog some day, but I like big dogs, like a Lab or Golden Retriever. But I just don't think apartment life would be good for them. So I'll wait until I have a yard.

I think that phrase applies here, right? Oh man, I just realized it was TofuEmmy who used to say that all the time. What the heck happened to her?

Pee.
My darling dog, whom I love dearly, and who has a seizure disorder that I think is linked to some cognitive difficulties - lack of oxygen in utero perhaps? Anyway, as I lifted him onto the bed yesterday, he peed on me. And for a five pound dog, he managed to get every article of my clothing and the bed as well.
The weird thing is that he's housebroken. He goes potty where he's supposed to. But he seems to have no qualms at all about peeing on me or on the bed if that happens to be where he is.
Sigh. Husband was thrilled I can tell you. At least I wasn't in the car like I was last time. I had to complete my errands soaked in dog pee.

Or if squirrels are in the yard. That's important stuff, ya know. :)

ewwwww
I'll take the pea soup, please.
My dog has only broken her housebrokenness (lol) twice. Both times she was sick, and we were sort of ignoring her pleas to go out, since we didn't think she really needed to.
That'll "learn us"!
