Osinn11 Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Cj yawns alot and not just while stretching. In her defense I'm sure she's tired after her 15 naps a day! Anyone else notice this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyshqa Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yawning is also a sign of being comfortable with the company they're with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahny Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Blue likes to yawn at me and make the grumpby noise at the end to tell me to hurry up. Its very cute. Scared my mon wittless the first time he did it to her. Then again the first time she dogsat his he totaly dog passed out on her and she thought he died . . . . she accidentally woke him upas she was leaning over him to head if he still had a heart beat. Poor mom, poor puppy, he had just had a really big day, no naps, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yawning can also be a sign of anxiety, I believe, but it doesn't sound like she's feeling any anxiety... And...I just yawned. Hehe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osinn11 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I hope she not stressed! If she is it's because of the vibe she picking up from dad being stressed about what she's done that day! ha ha ha *Yawn* Funny how that happens!

Kara Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Now I may be totally wrong on this, but I thought in "wolf" world that opening thier jaws was a sign of showing who is "bigger" or "dominance", but this just might be something I have totally mixed up in my brain. All my dogs have done it, but I have never tried to analyze the dynamics of the time and reasoning they are doing it. but I am also sure that all of the above is true too.

Never heard of that to be honest. As far as I know dogs (and wolves) yawn either when they're stressed or when they're relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
