That’s the noise of pure relaxation. A state we humans never achieve.

I love it. My girls now are in the 2-3 year range and they both do that notable sigh when they settle down, lots of times that comes after they finally accept that I'm not going to get up and start playing tug-of-war with them so it seems especially judgemental.

First time I've ever had dogs who don't bother to run over when I call their names. They just look at me from a distance. So when I'm laying in bed trying to summon puppy heaters in the winter or get some cuddles and face licks before bed they get that same judgemental sigh thrown right in their adorable asshole faces.
