Do you ever notice your pets purposefully communicating with you?

Any stories to share?

My lab will try to make me play with her at times, and she tells me exactly where she’d like to be petted.

The most “communicative” experience with her I had about a year ago: She stood in front of her basket, but the blanket was missing. It hurts her to lie on hard surfaces, so she was pretty adamant about that – she kept looking at basket, blanket and me in turn, until I had caught on.
