Moose’s Sad Face
Moose is generally a fairly lazy dog:
She doesn’t really get the concept of chasing frisbees or balls. But she really loves it when I blow bubbles for her. I have special doggy ones that are peach flavoured, and she runs around trying to catch them:
It’s a lot of fun, as long as I take a quick enough step back - otherwise Moose takes a flying leap at my face, and, well, she is much to big to fly at my face now. I’m apt to land flat on my back with a very anxious Dane slobbering on top of me. As I spend much of the day hunched over a keyboard somewhere, it’s quite nice to take a break from the writing sometimes and go have some bubble fun with Moose. There is, however, one drawback to this, and that’s that Moose has never had enough. So it doesn’t matter how long I play with her - as soon as I start to walk back towards the house she does her sad face:
What can I do? I’ll give her anything she wants when she looks at me like that. I’ve forced myself to go back into the house before, only to look out the window fifteen minutes later to find that she is still stood there with the same expression. This causes me to bang on the window like a crazy person, shouting ‘I’ll be right back, Moose!’, and then rush out with the bubbles, whereupon she starts leaping about all happy and joyful once again. Whoever said Danes were stupid? Mine has me wrapped around her little finger (or, at least, she would if she had a little finger).

Aaaaawwww! She’s so sweet!
Now tell me: in that last shot, are we perhaps looking at a dog who’s run around so much that she’s accidentally turned both her ears inside out?

Yes, indeed. Well spotted! Another good reason - should anyone need one - for not cropping dogs’ ears!

Not much of a dog person (cats are my preferred mammal), but that face is thoroughly adorable.

If I could only have one, then I would have to choose cats (because NOTHING beats a Siamese), but I love dogs too.
Moose is the first dog who’s actually been mine (the Dobermans were all family pets) and I have to admit I spoil her rotten! Today I bought her a Santa for xmas, but she has to wait until 1st December for that!
