Hello everyone.
I was finishing my dinner tonight and noticed something about our dog Kai (also known as The Black and White Hairy Guy).
I don’t know how much any of you ever took any notice of the amazing variety of replies/questions/statements etc that Nick Park’s creation ‘Grommet’ is able to convey just with a single facial expression or slight movement of an eyebrow for instance? But I find it extremely interesting.
Tonight I finished dinner, and the dog (having stared at us while he ate), moved himself into a closer position.
Here’s a photo of him trying to be subtle...
Very expressive eyes.
As we finished he looked at me and somehow said (just by looking at the plate, licking his lips, looking desperately at me, adjusting his position and intensifying his stare until wisps of steam came out of his ears) “Come on. You’ve finished the food and there’s obviously still some bits on the plate that I could just lick off with my big tongue that’s only going to go to waste... The cat’s don’t need it, but it really matters to me”.
I don’t know how he did it? He only used his eyes and eyebrows...
I’ve seen lots of interesting behaviour from him and other dogs over the years.
Has anyone else got a pet in their life that makes them question their very being?
