I am still learning about my dog that I adopted from my local SPCA on 12/31. He is 4 years old and we suspect he is at least half beagle. I have 0 history from before we got him aside from he was transferred from a different SPCA about a month prior to us adopting him. Our vet says he is in great health and aside from sensitive skin (which we are managing with diet and medication) she has no concerns about him.
I can’t tell if he likes being petted or getting scritches. When I am doing it, he doesn’t pull away and will usually close his eyes and occasionally lean in, but he als sometimes pushes my hand away with his paw/arm and will sometimes switch between eyes closed and what looks kind of like whale eye. When he pushes away I will stop and look at him to see that’s what he wants and sometimes he will lean his head in and nudge me so I start again. I’m co fused about the mixed signals. Or am I reading it wrong?
