Turn my back at you!
-
Both of my dogs - the basenji and the beagle sleep under covers. Beegin even arranges blankets himself in his crate so that his head is partially under the blanket!
-
In my house it is normal for the girls to sleep under the covers not the boys. I don't know why this is.
My kidz will turn their backs on me in their crates if they are "mad" at me or I'm giving attention to someone else. Diggie will come sit next to me with his back to me if he wants a back massage.
-
We even put "covers" on our b's when they are napping on the couch..
They love their covers! -
Is he contacting you when he turns his back? My dogs do this out in the yard. Each one will face a different direction with their butts touching. I think they do this to keep a vigilant eye on the yard.
A dog will sometimes turn their back on you to send you a calming signal..but usually that is if something chaotic is happening. And mine will also do like Kim's and turn their back in their crate if they don't think they should be in there at the moment.
Undercovers? always…

I have always found that in-tact males get to "hot" under the covers, especially when they are young, but older ones, especially after neutered want under the covers too. Or at least start out under the covers. My OJ would never sleep under the covers until after he was neutered, Jamari on the other hand always did.
-
yes his neutered.
- and when hes on the couch he just curls up(close to a cat position)…but facing away from me....then when i call his attention and baby talk to him-he just sighs and as a basen would do -turn away with neck stretched 'as if'!...then i start basenji talking to him and he gives in..and talks back n begins to play nip...then back to my gaming!-lol

Buddy is neutered but has really thick fur and he tends to run hot normally which is why cold weather does not bother him. My first tri had very thick fur as well. The last 2 had very thin fur and always required being under something.:D

Well, Diggie has been neutered for about 3 years now and will be 14 in December. Still refuses to sleep under the covers unless it's really, really cold. (As in snowstorm combined with poweroutage.) He has very fine fur. Maybe he's not "older" yet. ;)
Jet (intact and approaching 13) has thicker fur and usually shrugs his covers off.

lol btw, on "calming signals"… Arwen tries it with squirrels. She sits with back toward them trying to assure she isn't watching them... what ME? I have forgotten all about you! ... But then she snakes her head back looking. Silly girl.

Paco used to only get under the covers when we had the A/C on, but over time he's started to do it just about every night, curling up behind our knees into a little ball.
When I work on the computer (which is pretty much most of the day every day), he jumps up on the computer chair with me and squeezes between my back and the back of the chair. :) If I keep squashing him trying to stay comfortable, though, he'll move to the bedroom and hang out in there…I don't see it as a slight to me in any way.

Sleeping all the way down under the covers in our bed is the way mine loves to sleep every night! I've noticed that when my two dogs are sleeping or resting right next to each other, they are back to back - I wondered if maybe when you are playing your computer games with your back to him, he turns his back to you so that you both are protected - each of you are looking away, in case something/someone comes on the scene. I think that's where the phrase "I got your back" came from…....

Spring spends most of her time under and wrapped in covers - I never know how she manages to breathe!! She does indeed have a fine single coat.
Re turning backs - my recently deceased male got very anti other males after he had been used at stud. Knowing I wouldn't tolerate him fighting when he sat by or near another male he would sit with his back to them saying 'If I can't see you you can't see me!'

an update-iam a huge wow player -and as ive been leveling in new zones it has cought milosh interest on its sounds and visuals- so lately he dosent turn his back on me as much but looks forward to hearing the sounds coming from the laptop….lol
