Idiopathic Head Bobber, with something called Idiopathic Head Tremors Syndrome?
The other week, I swear someone had switched my corn pops cereal with a few crack rocks instead. My boy came up to me (9 months old today) and this usually means he wants/needs something. So, the first thing I asked him was if he was hungry and needed something to eat.
This freakin' guy starts nodding his head up and down repeatedly, as if he were telling me yes. I couldn't believe it. I thought a yeti came from the woods, snatched my little boy up and replaced him with an identical little boy...who could now nod yes when answering a question. :roflmao:
Well, since then, he has done it twice more, that I have witnessed. He'll just be sitting there, and all of a sudden his head will start nodding up and down, very short crisp nods. Almost looks like he is sniffing the air very intently.
He'll move his head around, which makes it appear more like he is sniffing, but he is def. just nodding, or shaking up and down, if you will.
I googled it and figured through all of the reading, that it is a normal occurence in a few breeds and is completely harmless. Harmless because nobody knows why or where it stems from, or harmless because no dog has apparently had any negative side effects from it.
So, anybody else got a head bobber?
