What Is Your Pet Trying to Tell You

Animals want our attention,and sometimes they"re quite obviously about asking for it.Unusual behaviors are often our pets' way of telling us to stop what we're doing and play with them.It 's why .Fido constantly chases his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around.A desperately bored pet may have"bad" behaviors to get

a reaction一even a negative one !

Feed me.

Sure,your dog loves you,but that' s not why he' s licking （舔）your face.A puppy learns to lick his mother's mouth to get a little leftover food,so Spot isn't kissing you in our sense of the word；he just wants

a snack.

I' m stressed.

Cat owners also misinterpret their furry friends' kisses.While a cat might lick you to show love,sometimes she'll do it to ease herself.One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is to see if it goes on for an extended period of time.Birds also over clean when they feel anxious.Some will even drag out their own

feathers.

My tail tells all.

Dogs wag （摇）their tails to the right when they see something or someone they want to approach,and to the left when they see something they want to avoid.When frightened,dogs curl their tails in,while cats wrap theirs around themselves.And if a cat's tail looks like a question mark ，she's eager to play.

Most of us travel with our parents as children and teenagers.For some of us，during the travel，our parents are our .These trips are normally full of rental cars，beaches，and hamburgers.My family would go to Galiano island every summer，and we did a week in Mexico in 1995，and then we did two different trips to Anaheim to experience the magic of Disney，Universal，and Knott's Berry Farm.

But all of these are childhood experiences and memories.I didn't really truly travel with my parents until I was an adult when I got the chance to travel with mom and dad.

I was in New Zealand for a study abroad，and invited my parents to come down for a 2-week road trip around the North Island and then 10 days in Fiji.Why not They said，as if this was something they were invited to do every day.I didn't really plan anything，but my mom had done some reading and I knew some highlights after living in New Zealand for 5 months.

I had booked a hotel for their first night in Auckland.The only other preparation I had done was to book a rental car.My parents immediately reached an agreement that I should be the driver，for the whole two weeks.The main reason for this，understandably，was that neither of them had ever been in a country where you drive on the left hand side of the road and on the right hand side of the car.This led to me driving my parents around the entire North Island of New Zealand for 2 weeks!But still，everybody had jobs.Dad had the maps，and mom had the guidebook，and I just took them where they told me to go. Sometimes，I was asked who I was traveling with.When I said"my parents"，the response was，"Ohhh，older people." Actually，I have some tips on travelling with parents happily.
