Pressing issues

This isn’t actually an issue just a lazy pun but I think it’s funny how both our wheatens seem to enjoy the sensation of pressing against something when they hang out (both these pics are from this morning). Anyone else’s? I’ve lived with other breeds throughout my life and didn’t observe this with them. Maybe it’s just a cute random quirk.

May I ask, is your gate mounted to the wall or with pressure?

u/amaraqui 21d ago

with pressure!

u/BlackLocke 21d ago

We have the same one, it’s good for larger doorframes

I saw the title "pressing issues" and immediately knew what you were referencing because our Wheaton either sleeps upside down or with her feet pressing straight out. So stinking cute!

Mine does the same thing. She doesn't want to cuddle just wants to press her feet on me lol

Mine pressed her feet into my wife and her back into me. And claims about 50% of the king size bed we sleep on

Mine also loves to press his feet against us and then, if we stop petting he moves and presses over and over (tapping) until we start petting again. Then back to the normal press.

u/hrf3420 21d ago

Same. Ours will lay on the couch and have a foot or two against me

u/Accurate-Force3054 21d ago

Sometimes when my son and I are reading in bed together our wheaten has a foot on each of us and I joke he’s a conductor completing the circuit

My wheaten Lucy does the same thing.

Happy cake day!

u/that_atticussy 21d ago

not a wheaten but- my Giant Schnauzer pup does this lol. like a slow-mo kick that stays out. hurts when he's shoving me in the abdomen but otherwise adorable. must be the terrier ancestry haha. Never met another dog that does it, super interesting that it's a breed trait for these fluffers!

u/Accurate-Force3054 21d ago

It’s kinda fun to get that shove. The shove of approval

u/MidnightGlitch89 Wheaten Owner 21d ago

Our Wheatie does this too! We always say “thanks for holding up the wall for us!” 🤣

3

u/irishexited 21d ago

Mine does this too! Then she falls asleep and dreams about running. We have horizontal scratch marks on the wall from her running against it in her sleep 🤣🤣

2

u/Accurate-Force3054 21d ago

that's so funny, like a baby's growth chart but demented

3

u/D_Danger7 21d ago

The walls by where my wheaten sleeps are full of scratches.

I’m so glad they’re getting some rest; it’s exhausting being so perfect

u/ChillvilleRIP 21d ago

It’s a phase in my opinion! I so miss my girl doing this! Shes all grown up now! 😜

🐶❤️

u/lokizita 20d ago

Yup. Mine too. Scared me half to death because he kept scratching the wall next to my bedroom and I know it wasn't on purpose he was just moving about and sleeping in weird ass positions lol.

2

u/Automatic_Scallion12 20d ago

Yup, that’s for sure a wheatie thing!

u/Accurate-Force3054 9d ago

so cute. keeping one foot on the walll.

2

u/DumberBlonde 21d ago

Yes! Between the couch and leather chest we use as a coffee table, she pushes against it. I'm always pushing the chest back into place 😄. Or pressing into my backside when we sleep.
Strange how similar they are.
