Had Domino for 10 months now and i often wonder just how happy he is.
When I look back at Jordan she always had the most wonderful smile, everyone said how happy she was, her photos all show her grinning from ear to ear. With Domino he always has such a forelorn look about him and only seems to come alive and happy when we play ball. So photos of him playing look happy enough but portrait ones in the house he just looks miserable! Is it just his breed, his nature or does he just not like getting photos taken?
Sara and Scrumpy Jack both smile, but Sara often has the saddest eyes on her imaginable! Scrumpy Jack has always photographed well, he's a right poser and you can't hide a camera turning on from him - he's right there in model mode.
you get a lot of miserable 'stop beating me' faces! this is Cupars 'indicate' face to indicate a find he stands very still and looks like this (sad) until I praise him for his find and give him permission to get it.
love this one - behind bars! (just the gate to the yard ...miserable 'cos they didn't get to follow me!
miserable again..those sad eyes ..don't be fooled tho! this is an 'asking' face ... he wants me to do something here...but he still looks sad.!

Aww!! Tommy smiles when you rub his tummy and his back, or just by stroking him cos he's really soft haha but other than that he's always looks sad with his feel sorry for me eyes hehehe xx
That first one looks like you've caught him doing something he shouldn't be...it's very "who, me?" That happy one is brilliant, they really are smiling!
Sarah, do those pity eyes work? I bet they get him lots of cuddles and treats!
Oh yes they don't half work! Aswell as them being big brown eyes! They work more on an evening when he wants to be on the couch with me and Martin for cuddles and of course we can't say no! But he does wait for an invite bless him xx
Awww, I'd find it impossible to resist those eyes; even the ones in your signature are making me reach for the treat jar and clear some space on the sofa.
