Does your dog give you “The Look?”

I could never get my dogs to pose for the camera. And the few times I clicked the camera just as they move their head toward it, lo and behold, red eyes! o_O
 

Great to see so many photos of "loved" dogs. No matter the breed.... or mix of breeds... they are loyal, compassionate, loving, and just seem glad to have us as part of "their" family and to allow us to live in "their" home. :>) Over the years, have known many people who would be so much happier in their lives is they could only be more "doglike".

I like your post, but with all due respect, I disagree with you about "their homes". In my experience dogs would much rather be with their master, in the car, in the woods, at the lake, or any place really, than in "their homes".
Cats, on the other hand, would much rather stay put in "their home" than to move into a new place, with their owner.

Dogs can have such different personalities... one to the other. Our current "Angel" is a homebody. She hates to leave the house, except to spend time in the back yard. Hates to ride. Whines all the time. Hates to go for walks. Has her toys and her spot where she lays under a small table, etc.
OTOH, we had a Lab that could not wait to go walking or riding. "Abby" and I spent many, many days walking 3 to 4 miles. So well behaved. But, when I would head to the door, she would grab her harness and be really disappointed if she didn't get to go.
Rescued a Cocker Spaniel that had been beaten by her former male owner. She was stone deaf. Took a couple months before she would trust me. "Sally" was fearful of strange people and didn't like to be around anyone but my wife, our kids, and me. When people would visit, they would seldom know we had a dog. "Sally" would hide and not come out until the company had left.
So many of our dogs have been rescues. Much of how they act and react is a result of their time before joining our family.
 
My wife working shifts before retiring meant that we didn't think it sensible to have a dog that would be left alone for hours on end. Prior to that though we had a succession of cocker spaniels.

There's the look that says: "Oh sh*t!" Then there's the look that says "Wheeeee! I'm so happy I could sh*t!" Rosie is of the latter.

Re-the beard. Vanity. There's an unsightly mole on the right side of my chin, my doctor informed me that removal could lead to problems, then suggested that I grow a beard. When the whiskers turned white, I shaved it off. Vanity you see, I preferred the mole to looking like Santa.

This is the "stare". At exactly 4 p.m., she will sit and stare until I get up to get her supper. At the exactly 6:30 p.m. she will sit and stare until I get up to get ice cream... of which she gets a thumbnail size sliver. Her internal clock is more accurate than most clocks in the home. Won't bark. Won't do anything but sit there and bore holes through you with her eyes.

LOL! That's some look!
