My canine companion and spiritual mentor, Lola, does the same thing. It means she usually wants to communicate on a deeper level. So I just stare into her eyes back at her, tell her how beautiful she is. Then she wags her tail, jumps around and laughs.
Lola is a Freepr who was standing at street corners during the election campaign with her huge sign ( that I held ) that said, " PETS FOR BUSH ". CHIEFTAIN'S canine companion, Brenda, joined us in the sign holding. Somewhere there is a picture of them.
