My dog can see me in a mirror.

She definitely can. In our last place, she'd sit and watch my reflection in the hall mirror when I was brushing my teeth every night, even though she could have easily come around the corner to sit with me. She makes eye contact and tilts her head when I/the reflection talks.

But then she never ever reacts to her own reflection. She must be able to see it but she never acknowledges it. That's weird, right? What does she think it is? I'm pretty sure only elephants and dolphins recognise themselves in a mirror, monkeys can learn to do it, I think maybe crows too (coz they are as smart as monkeys) but she surely can't know that the dog in the mirror is her, right? But she knows my reflection is me...but she's not freaked out about there being another dog...

This is the kinda thing I worry about.

And I'm not even high.

I think it's probably time for bed x

My childhood dogs would bark at other dogs on TV. I don't remember if they reacted to their reflection in the mirror. It's cute that your dog tilts her head when she sees your reflection talk. :)

Oh she's has so many different expressions, it's hilarious. It weirds people out a bit coz even though she only has the one eye, the no-eye still moves like it's there, so her eyebrow goes up and she frowns and everything! She's generally unmoved by things 2D...which is why this bothers me so }: ( x
