Hairy faces & witches' hats
After having Pip, the Maltese, for 12 of his 14 years, you'd think
surprises would be over. But the awareness behind that hairy little face continues to amaze. Today, we were driving down a street when he alerted, planted his feet on the dashboard, and began to growl. He grumbled and muttered, staring fixedly as we passed a fire hydrant which somebody had decorated for Halloween, topped with a witch's hat. Never having seen a hydrant wearing a hat, he was deeply suspicious of its intentions. Gonna start clipping the hair on his face closer. A lot goes on that I don't see. I have trouble with black dogs, too. Since my vision is no longer perfect, I have trouble reading their expressions. People often mention Chows as difficult to read. What breed do you think is on the other end of that continuum .. the most transparent? http://community.webtv.net/k9apple/Mac

Goldens, easy to read (and they are very expressive dogs!)
