I don't get other dogs in the yard but I do get foxes, she will sniff but isn't bothered.
Why do they smack their lips?
-
If it is like a small lip licking movement, it is probably a calming signal. Google calming signals in dogs. They use it to say 'chill out', or 'I am feeling a little uncomfortable'
Except pre-barfingā¦that is just because of the extra saliva produced before vomitting. Or sticky mouth because of a crunchy treat....

Sometimes out tri, when shiffing trees, chatters his teeth, pretty loud. I'm not sure what it means?

When my dogs are going to throw up and they are indoors, they always run to the back door to be let out, and they all run {heaving the whole way} off the deck and out in to the grass before they let go.
There should be a whole thread on this! Tucker went through a period where he puked a lot. I'm guessing it was the Mcdonalds and Popeye's that he guilted me into giving him all the time (my bad, I know). He almost always waited until I wasn't around to puke, right on the shag rug. IMPOSSIBLE to clean up thoroughly. I've managed to grab him a few times and carry him onto the balcony, and one trip to the sink (that was funny) at my parent's house. Imagine me running around with a heaving dog in my folks house looking for some receptacle while being watched by 4-5 people, finally just holding him over the sink. Unfortunately there was a follow up that I didn't catch.
Tucker also smacks the lips a lot as he's settling down to sleep.

It was so he could puke ON the balcony.
It's easier to clean off the concrete than shag carpet. -
Ours are self cleaning if you can't get there quick, no matter who's it is!
Our tri askes to go out side to puke- he can be such a good boy sometimes.

That's disgusting! :eek: Tucker does the same thing, though.
I'm sure there's been a LOT more 'incidents' than I am aware of that 'solved' themselvesā¦I've only had the pleasure of witnessing that once... I see the ham, I don't see the ham, I see the ham, I don't see the ham... ROFL!I usually know when it's going to happen, relatively speaking, because Tucker 'mows the lawn' while on our walk.

the weirdest thing happened with our dog, he stole a granola bar from my daughters hands, ate the whole thing foil wrapper & all within seconds. The next morning we find the foil wrapper like brand new, in one piece, in his crate, like an owl pellet or something???
Our dogs live to steal pizza, if they can get it.
-
Okay, I LOLed at that oneā¦ At least now you know how to properly 'peel' a granola bar (if you're in to saving wrappers!). Good for coupon retrieval!

Your Tucker Avitar looks like he is full of the devil!

I've been meaning to post a gallery of him. I'll try to upload some this weekendā¦ I wish I had been able to get some of him swimming in the Chesapeake Labor Day weekend, but carrying a wild devilish B AND a digital camera while walking in the ocean is a BAD idea!
