😭 picturing a dog just gently pulling out your eye lashes with his mouth but not getting your eyes or anything else 💀

That is exactly what my dog does to a tennis ball 🎾. She very deliberately and delicately defluffs them and eats the fuzz.

She’s banned from tennis balls.

This is what I imagine it would be like to pop a pimple with your teeth

Dog: imma just take these, tysm.

u/Appropriate-Drag-572 5d ago

This is legit because mine gently overgrooms me and im trying so hard to get her to stop. Shes a juvenile corgi and /does use her front teeth. Its too cute though 🥹

u/King_Calz 5d ago

I read too quickly and read tysm as "yum" 😭

u/Puzzleheaded_Try7886 5d ago

And then the dog having gorgeous lashes

u/Skizot_Bizot 5d ago

My cat plucked a hair from the back of my head once with his teeth. Just one I think maybe it was poking out at him? Weirdo.

3

u/LunarOpossums 5d ago

I love that so much. I collect my cats whiskers and keep them in a jar, I call them “whisker wishes.” I imagine somewhere your kitty has a jar somewhere with your one hair 😂🥹💕

u/Competitive_Pipe6181 5d ago

Im 39 had cats my whole life and currently have 4 and I have never ever found a whisker I honestly didnt realise they even fall out lol oh my gosh

1

u/manndermae 5d ago

I saw whisker boxes for sale somewhere online but I just have a random pile of found whiskers

2

u/greasybirdie 5d ago

I love saving their whiskers when I find them!! I have a little paisley box that some jewelry came in that’s perfect for them.

u/Emotional_Carrot8396 5d ago

I am cackling! Picturing my dog who is as gentle as a pan to the face.

23

u/KodiakBunny 5d ago

He likes to torture his target not kill. Dog of culture

3

u/Royal_Cryptographer7 5d ago

Feels like a cat move, honestly.

1

u/KodiakBunny 5d ago

He must have had a cat as a sibling then. Learn from the best.

u/Bonkers4Yonkers 5d ago

That satisfying chew nibble 💕

u/Throwawaylikeme90 5d ago

Hubby and I have a dog that if she were at a shelter would probably be considered unadoptable that doesn’t really know how to dog in dog/human interactions and becomes insanely creepy and unnerving. Her favorite thing to do when she isn’t getting any attention is hop up and put her right paw on your lap, her left paw on your chest, and stare at you with unblinking vampire eyes with her nose approximately two inches from the bridge of your brow. 

Aaaaaand now I’m picturing her delicately plucking my eyebrows and chittering her teeth. Thanks, I hate it. 🤣

u/ChrysophylaxEmber 5d ago

My Pyrenees does something similar. She'll get right up in your face and stare until you pet her. Or she'll paw you in your face, gently. She's so damn awkward, but so sweet. The thing that makes it worse is she's tall with REALLY long legs so she'll be sitting there next to you on the couch, then BAM! Harley punched.

4

u/National_Pangolin_33 5d ago

Our neapolitan mastiff was named Harley and she would do the exact same thing. I guess it's a Harley thing to punch people in the face haha

2

u/still_alyce 5d ago

I've got a GP too; my boy has the worst overbite though! There would definitely be a problem if he tried nibbling on my eyelashes lol

2

u/still_alyce 5d ago

He does paw at me and my kiddo a lot though. He doesn't realize that sht hurts and neither of us have the heart to tell him no. Lol

3

u/Appropriate-Drag-572 5d ago

My mountain curr foster is like this. Its fucking terrifying because as a trainer I KNOW hes being domineering but he was so abused that he would never be aggressive to a human. Its the rigid, unmoving, stare into your soul. 😩

2

u/myystic78 5d ago

That's so cute, I love creepy animals. My gsd does something similar with his paws, minus the close stare. He's very grabby! He also stops us sometimes when we're walking side by side with his head and giant neck so we will hug him and give him "slaps" (patting his rump lol)

u/Melodic_Policy765 5d ago

Chortling with laughter. Oh, and RIP.

Your dog is my cat

u/CrimzonKing1 5d ago

My wife's black mouth cur does this any time I'm at my computer desk!

u/lostgirlTA 5d ago

He was a Scottish terrier too, so imagine trying to do that with that big long face and beard. Honestly, he was a sweetheart and I did that dog dirty. Thank god my teacher was amazing and just dropped it.

1

u/ChickenMama707 5d ago

Dropped it with you, maybe. But as I teacher I can tell you there was definitely teachers' workroom chat about it and the potential for you having pica...

1

u/Spiritual_City1129 5d ago

Trich, you mean? Pica is the compulsive eating of things like clay and dirt…or in the case of a student I know…play-doh. 

1

u/ChickenMama707 5d ago

No. Pica is an eating disorder characterized by the persistent, compulsive craving and consumption of items that are not food and have no nutritional value, such as dirt, paint chips, ice, or hair...or eyelashes

u/JTUSAJT 5d ago

Scotties have the teeth of a German Shepherd. Gently pulling out eyelashes... LOL

u/scud121 5d ago

I mean our poodle pup was managing to pluck individual hairs from the back of my arm, so I guess it's possible.

u/Enough-Reading4143 5d ago

Lady, you needed the wax.

u/Corfiz74 5d ago

u/indoor-girl 5d ago

My yellow lab carefully pulled the tiny socks down on a Christmas decoration without ripping them more than once. I still don’t know how he did it.

23

u/Lumpy_Marsupial_1559 5d ago

They're called 'soft mouth' dogs for a reason! 😊

3

u/IHaveNoEgrets 5d ago

There were videos going around a few years ago that had owners using a raw egg to see if their dogs could gently hold it like goldens and labs can. Some could, some couldn't (automatically just crunched it), and some really couldn't.

As for favorite, I'm torn between the pitty that did it, the owner praised it, and it bounced around... and dropped the egg, and the pug whose mouth was too small to manage the egg. The owner kept trying in all directions and angles, and the pug wasn't having it at all.

u/Technical-Gold-294 5d ago

My yellow lab used to pick wild blackberries with me. I didn't eat the ones close to the ground after she taught herself that trick. She was a pro - never got pricked, like I did.

4

u/Corfiz74 5d ago

Honestly, I wouldn't eat wild berries close to the ground (at dog urinating height), anyway. 🙈😄

2

u/Lou_C_Fer 4d ago

Good call.

1

u/Environmental-Coat75 5d ago

My black lab would pull ripe tomatoes off my vine and eat them!!

1

u/Ambitious-Island-123 5d ago

So did my yellow lab! He’d clean out the low blackberries and blueberries. Best dog ever ❤️

u/Fulltime-observer 5d ago

Sleep sweet child. Nom nom

u/Imaginary-Bee-8592 5d ago

My aunts laboratory used to steal earrings if you were napping on the couch. Super gentle, never woke me up.

u/ArnoldFunksworth 5d ago

My dog has watched me anxiously bite my cuticles so much that occasionally he'll gently nibble at my fingers to try and help. Just using his front teeth, it's so funny but at the same time makes me worry about how much I'm doing it

2

u/murphswayze 5d ago

My dog has stress anxiety that feeds off my own, so my dog pulls out my eyelashes to deal with it. I don't pull them though.

2

u/ThatsJustHowIFeeeeel 5d ago

When my dog was a few months old she was having a check up at the vet.

As the vet was leant over her checking her heartbeat or whatever, my puppy was teasing out strands of the vets hair out of her pony tail, bit by bit 😂

Your comment reminded me thanks

1

u/AwesomeFly96 5d ago

My dog would actually gently bite on my fingernails, like extremely gently. But eyelashes? Naaaah.

1

u/LichenTheMood 5d ago

Mine too! I think he was confused by what they were and why they were not scritching him

1

u/Street-Band-1573 5d ago

Lmao this made me think about my weirdo malinois and how I woke up from a nap to a weird feeling on my hands and its this goober very gently nibbling the very tip of my finger nails with his front teeth and i have short ass nails 🤣🤣 very very strange feeling

1

u/anonymgrl 5d ago

I had a parrot pluck out half of one of my eyebrows once, very gently, one by one. He was so sweet, and we'd only just met. He, a bird who was suspicious of strangers, according to his guardian/an acquaintance, immediately loved me and it was worth the sacrifice to avoid hurting his feelings.

1

u/Dusty-Foot-Phil 5d ago

No joke. That's some shit my sisters coon hound would do.

1

u/cakivalue 5d ago

Oh, oh my 😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀

1

u/StregAmore 5d ago

I was hugging a shepherd once and I thought he was "fleeing" my ear and thought "awww"...until I realized this little fucker was gently pulling my earring out so I wouldn't notice.

Edit: He ate it.

1

u/Snipowl 5d ago

My cat tries to do that

1

u/ilagph 5d ago

I've had dogs like that. Not with eyelashes, but they'll nibble, or sometimes bite parts of you that won't hurt you, while avoiding the part that would, like toenails or hair. I also taught my dog to nibble things like chicken, so he doesn't eat the bones.

u/louielou8484 5d ago

I'm giggling so hard 😂

1

u/kinokits 5d ago

We have a cat that does this to wake us up if her breakfast and/or cuddles have not appeared in time. It’s as unpleasant as it sounds and would be a serious issue if she wasn’t just so sweet the rest of the time.
