Have your animals noticed?

[danenikki]

So the Danes have been incredibly attached to me and "posturing". When I wakeup in the morning both are laying by our bedroom door.  It finally dawned on me they know I'm pregnant and they want to watch over me. Anybody else's pets doing anything different? 
Example he is sitting on my foot.

If my cat has noticed she doesn't care. I think she's still mad at me for bringing home my son. She's not the most affectionate cat...

When I was pregnant with E, we spent the weekend with friends and their golden retriever didn't leave my side the whole time I was there. It was so sweet.

Edit to fix autocorrect.

Our GSD didn't act differently with DD. She has been acting differently though in the past few weeks. Not sure if it's pregnancy or just all the moving we've done but she follows us around and seems to want to be part of the family more. She never used to go into DDs room and now she follows us for story time every night.

Yep. Our pittie seemed to know over three weeks ago. She insists on being right beside me, and when I'm in bed or on the couch, she gently lays her head on my stomach. ***loss mentioned*** She did this last time I was pregnant as well. I sort of thought it was in our heads, until she started the same behavior this time.***end mention*** She's incredibly intuitive, so I wonder if she really knows, or is possibly picking up on our behavior? (DH often has his hand on my stomach, etc.) Our lab is just overly excited (err, more so than usual)--I'm not really sure if it's related. Our cat either hasn't noticed or doesn't give a shit...

@pennygirl2013, She's the best dog! We got her when she was a few months old. She was born deaf, knows a bunch of puppy sign language, and is super sweet! This is her stealing my side of the bed:

My cat couldn't be bothered to care. She continues to do her business on the tarp covering our toy ball pit, which is why H refuses to clean up the cat crap this time. I love her, and that's why I'm putting up with all her bullshit.

OMG shananagins are we the same person?!

My cat acts the exact same. My lab doesn't seem to act any different. My pittie mix though, he seems to be extremely needy lately! He's always been affectionate, but now if I stop petting him he will actually start whining!! He just wants to lay by me and have my hand on him whenever I'm home.

My pittie mix also seriously loves babies. He will just lay next to them, and if any other animal (even our own lab and cat) comes near it, he growls. He is fiercely protective. We had my nieces over last night, and I had to drag my pittie out because he just wanted to lay by the baby's pack and play. The don't call pit bulls "nanny dogs" for nothing!

My dog hasn't noticed this or any other pregnancy. He has been farting a lot more lately, though. Pretty sure it's unrelated.

Maybe it's sympathy farting???

Judging by the fact that my cats are still walking over my stomach when I lay on the couch, and my dog continues to pull me to go faster on walks, I'm gonna say they are oblivious.

Really cute what your dogs are doing though!

H's pug has always been clingy with H, and not really bothered about me, but these days hes clingy with me too. I don't know if its because I'm pregnant though, or if he just misses my doggy too. My cat doesn't give a shit if she knows.
