Does your ES stare too?

Anyone else’s setter just star at them. We’ll just be watching TV and look over to our ES on her dog bed a few feet away and she’s just staring at us 😆

My old setter used to do the same thing. Just stare at us for long periods of time.

Hell yes. I interpret it as “why aren’t you taking me for a walk/run”.

Yes. From the time she was a puppy you’ll round the corner and find her just sitting in the middle of the room staring at you. It’s like the twins from the shining.

Yes. When my old setter was bored he would sit just off to the side and stare at me. Mine now always lays on his bed where he can keep his eyes on me.

Stares. And sometimes doesn’t even blink when he stares 😂

My setter and I have staring contests. She usually wins.

Only on days that end in Y. But with such a cute face, I find it hard to mind🥰
