You speak dog better than you think you do. You may not be fluent; that would require actually being a dog. But if you went to live in a dogs-only world, youd be pretty good at understanding what theyre saying. You can tell a nervous yip from a menacing growl, a bark that says hello from a bark that says get lost. You can read the body language that says happy, that says sad, that says tired, that says scared, that says Please, please, please play with me right now!

Exactly how my dad described two of my daughters when they were little.
We once went to their home for a holiday dinner. The cat like preschooler walked past all the adults who were greeting her with big smiles and open arms. She completely ignored them, then saw my grandpa sitting quietly on the couch. He didnt notice her until she climbed up and snuggled in next to him. Cat like, indeed.
The Australian Sheep Dog acts as interpreter...

Well, that’s five minutes of drivel I’ll never be able to recoup... Lol.
Experiment:
Lock your dog and your wife/girlfriend in the trunk of your car and leave them there for an hour.
When you open the trunk, which one will be happy to see you?
I always told my students to try to be the person that their dog thinks they are.
Or Mr Taco.
What about my Briard?
Mini bull terrier and a Go Dog green dragon ... and her beaver toy.
My doggie’s favorite toys.
Apples and pears ripped from the trees.
My boxer buries some for the winter.
Weird.
Meow is a social construct.
1. When you're on the phone gossiping about some neighbor, your dog's tail is still wagging.
2. When you're sleeping with your neighbor's spouse, your dog doesn't care.
3. When so drunk you don't know what time/day it is, your dog still loves you.
4. When you hate your neighbor for his/her political views, your dog still jumps for joy when you come home.
5. When you steal something right in front of your dog, he yips with delight.
6. When you mistreat your family or a member of your family, the tail is still going.
7. When you're lazy and will do little or no work, your dog is fine with that.
Need any more examples as to why people love their dogs and their dogs love them back? Now, if you kick the dog around and abuse it, it will bite you. But, people usually don't do that because their dogs don't care if they're homosexuals.
When you open the trunk, which one will be happy to see you?
I've heard that one. It about sums it up. Changed time frame.

My cat acts a little bit like a dog.:D
It’s good to see Time finally printed something worth reading.
It’s also refreshing to see a positive dog thread instead of those nasty ones that beat up on dogs - daily.
I believe God created dogs to allow a glimpse into the fellowship he intended man to have with creation before the fall. With dogs, man can have relationship with God's creation.
Wee wee Fifi!
The real question is what do they find so interesting when they smell someone's butt or another dog's pee? I think it's more complicated than we might be able to understand with our very limited ability to smell. I wonder if they pity humans for being so smell blind.
Here's one of my favorites. Not all of them made it into the picture.
“Does a French poodle and a German Sheppard speak the same language?”
Depends upon how the war’s going at the time.
Beautiful! Thank you!
