too cute:


I don't notice the shibas doing this much, rarely - especially when the tea kettle sings, but its still rare. I guess they just understand everything!
My mom's dog Honey will do a super cute tilt head dance when you say any combination of "ralphieee cheeeeese bones". Love it.

Why do dogs tilt their heads?

    Sake tilts her head. I don't know why. At first it was because of an ear infection, but that is all cleared up. No she tilts if I yell "SAKE!" it a high pitched voice. It's pretty hysterical.

    Well I always believed the tilting of the head was a sign of curiosity, confusion, and wonderment. My dogs (past and present) usually do this when I do something my dogs think I want them to understand. I'll look them straight in the eye and start singing, talking to them like I would a person, etc. It seems the flurry of vocal communication leaves them utterly confounded and with only one possible solution left:

    "If I tilt my head, my owner looks really funny..."

    I think the tilting has something to do with trying to figure out what your saying. Tetsu doesn't really do it, but Tikaani will tilt his head every time anyone makes a weird sound or says something he likes but didn't quite hear it. It's always so cute when they do it though

    It's even funnier when you tilt your head to match them which confuses them even further.

    Chad thinks of Stewie all the time when we think about Elijah...inside plotting to take over the world.

    That is always the reason I give when people ask why Jay and I wont have kids, I say that we are afraid we would give birth to Stewie.

    Nola tilts her head when I whistle. Bella tilts her head whenever someone makes a noise that is not normal talking. It is pretty cute whenever they do it!

    i saw this a few days ago, sooooooooooo cute! Mylie tilts her head almost every time I talk directly to her and she doesn't quite know what I'm saying :) If I say words of phrases she understands there is no head tilt. She tilts her head while watching tv too. It's so cute!

    Remy does the head tilt all the time...its very cute. I seem to remember reading something about the dog being able to better locate the noise when their ears are at different heights/angles

    Sasha tilts her head all the time and wiggles her little brown dots above her eyes.
