Are there certain things you do around your house (or around your dog in general) that seem to bafoozal them? Like they follow you around, staring, sometimes a head tilt with a perplexed look?

I was just dusting/straightening up the front room, I have music going so I am "dance cleaning".........you know what I mean........YOU DO IT TOO, DON'T LIE! :rofl1:

But anyway, Orson is following me everywhere, giving me the wrinkled brow with full head tilt.
I know I am not a great dancer, but I don't think I'm THAT bad.......and his looks seem to say "MOM? Are you ok? I'm worried! Do you need me to get help?" :rofl1:

So what bafoozals YOUR dog? LOL

The clarinet and the flute. Actually Mia is terrified by them both. I guess that means we suck at playing.

Our Westie Riley is perplexed by my guy's habit of switching channels on the TV all the time. See, Riley likes to sit on the couch and watch television ... and when his "Daddy" starts flipping channels he gets the same reaction from Riley ... the dog jumps up and gives him this half-shocked half-annoyed look that seems to say "Hey! What are you doing? I was watching that!!" :)

Buddy the Golden doesn't ever seem perplexed by anything .... but then:
A.) He's a Golden ... much more laid-back than the little terrier-ist.
b.) He was an abandoned dog from the local shelter. Even after a year of him being here he still acts like he's "seen and heard it all".

Blowing across the top of the beer bottle so it makes the low sound. She will pop up and cock her head in the funny position EVERY time.

Izzie doesn't understand the vacuum... She doesn't know why this monster is roaring and trying to eat the carpets. She loves to watch TV, but gives me that wrinkly look (okay even MORE wrinkly than pugs are) whenever Cesar comes on... And if i don't change it quick she barks at it, only Cesar she's fine with other tv trainers. Also when i put away her Cuz ball when i get sick of tossing it down the stairs for her to chase she gets all "WTF mom!"

My two are befuddled by the TV. When I first got Argon, he had never been in a house before, he had always lived on a chain. He adapted beautifully, until he heard his first dog bark on TV. He flew off the couch, barking and growling (He had some DA issues- mostly resolved) and ran in circles around the TV, looking for the evil dog that was hiding around there somewhere.
Neon, who had lived in a house before me, is still a little confused about the sound of boiling water. As soon as it starts, he leaps up and charges the kitchen. Makes cooking easier!
As far as dancing...well, as soon as they see the ipod come out, Argon hides and Neon stands on his hind legs and asks to be picked up so he can be danced with. Poor Puss (RIP) used to make the worst face, because he knew I was going to make him be the Dancing Puss (Imagine a grey Persian cat swaying to ABBA's Dancing Queen). My mother swears the cat dropped dead just to escape the humiliation. ;)

Oakley gets bafoozled when I open a jar of peanut butter...and he doesn't get any!!!! Then he gets noticeably upset when I instead give him celery (hey, he was begging!).

That and...the ice machine in the freezer & the buzzer on the dryer get big ol head cocks. And when I make weird noises & speak to him like he should know what I'm saying for the sole purpose of making him cock his head

The thing that bafoozals (great word!) Caleb is Its Me or The Dog when they show dogs peeing and pooping in the house or jumping up on the table. His eyes get huge and he looks back and forth from the tv to me two or three times like he can't believe what he's seeing.

Domino gets bafoozaled when she notices that dog that looks just like her in the glass on the TV stand. Sometimes she goes around to the back to see if its back there. :p

Jasmine doesn't know what to do with herself when the vacuum's on. She wants to escape to the other room but doesn't want to leave me alone with it so she keeps hopping from one room to the other.

My pupsters get bafoozled when I talk to them "Ar Ar Aroo". They look at me like "well, you're trying to speak doggie . . . but what in the world are you saying?" Kinda like I am a foreigner in another country trying to speak the language but with the pronunciation and accent all wrong.

This made me think of the time I talked to Bailey through a wrapping paper roll. Omg I don't remember ever laughing so hard. He was so confused -- it was mom, but not mom! He was running around all confused and excited.

As far as dancing...well, as soon as they see the ipod come out, Argon hides and Neon stands on his hind legs and asks to be picked up so he can be danced with. Poor Puss (RIP) used to make the worst face, because he knew I was going to make him be the Dancing Puss (Imagine a grey Persian cat swaying to ABBA's Dancing Queen).

Aww, I love it.

Aurelia is watching 101 dalmations, and all three are bafoozled by it.

EDIT: OHMIGosh! I just remembered. One time the 10 year old boy I used to babysit dressed as an 80s rocker for a party :rofl1:

Imagine this:

Slightly overweight adolescent boy wearing zebra striped spandex pants. A waist length mullet wig. And a Sparkly black velvet cape.

I thought my dogs were going to DIE. :rofl1: Even Strider didn't know what to think. To make it worse, he decided to dance around a la Jack Black and sing. I'm reaaaallly glad Charlie was behind a fence for that.

:rofl1::rofl1: OMG..........these are just cracking me up guys! I can nearly picture your pups being bafoozaled! :rofl1:


Milo and Orson can start a quest to figure out the meaning of Dance Cleaning!!
But do they REALLY want to find the meaning? THAT is the question my friend! :lol-sign:
(not so sure I want the answers myself! LOL)

Sally is perplexed in the car when we drive over a rumble strip. She perks her ears, wrinkles her forehead, and stares intently at the floor of the car.

Jack is totally confused by the noises my laptop makes when I play Farmtown on Facebook---farm animal sounds. He gets up close to the computer an dtilts his head as far to the side as he can, like "WTF!?!?!"

Jack also doesn't seem to get books. It's like he is determined to figure out what is so exciting about that paper thing I stare at for hours at a time. He'll sniff at and examine that book intently while I'm trying to read, and then if I put it down and leave the room he'll pick it up and bring it to me.
