Understanding A Doggy's Tail Wag
Did you know that you can determine the dog's emotions by seeing which direction its tail is wagging more towards? The way a dog wags its tail is similar to the way humans use the right side vs the left side of their brains.
A dog wags its tail to the left when they are fearful or anxious.
A dog wags its tail to the right when they are attracted to something or happy.

hmm.. in that case, maybe you can observe them wagging another *part* of their body haha...
i think it should be made illegal to cut off a dog's tail like rottweiler's purely for some weird fashion sense that humans determine... it's like amputating one of the baby's hands just because it "looks cool" haha...

haha... people will then start using adjectives like "cute" and "sweetie" to rottweilers instead of "fierce" and "killer"...
and speaking of that, what about intentionally fashioning a dog's fur, like some shaved poodles or worse, dying their fur? we're treating it more like packaging a merchandize than looking after a life!

Hmmm... I wonder if women are even more evil to themselves.. imagine breast implants, lipo-suction, makeup, hair-color, high-heels, etc... even a dog can't recognize it's owner, after it's enhancements...

ahh... don't worry, i think your dear shiro will still recognize veanne, as long as veanne still smells like veanne (no matter is nice or busuk :P), even if you are in a gorilla suit haha... but he will be very confused indeed why a big hairy gorilla smells just like his sweet little owner...

Re: Do dog's talk?
I know it sounds crazy but it feels like most of the time.. My dog sigh on me when i tell her to go in the bathroom for shower.. And she loves chicken! Whether is still alive or not.. She will stare at my neighbour's chicken for hours and hours untill she's sleepy.. How she talk? when i show her the chicken breast cooked and i say " do you want some?" and she say " yea" not as yea..~ in a dog way.. you will figure it out when you do that to your dog and you will surprise when you finally understand it.. Me and my dog always talk and she give her response.. which is so cute.. And when you pretend to cry she will ask you what happen?

Re: Do dogs talk?
Yes.. dogs seem to be able to read our emotions very well, and learns very fast on the proper responses to give in different situations...
They are just like cute little kids, and requires just a simple reward system to make them happy and go all the way out to please you hehe...

Re: Do dogs talk?
hehe... your doggy is so cute... ya dogs' eyes and face are really expressive, that's why we can identify with them and become our most loyal friends...
another ability the dog has which many animals do not is the intelligence to follow your line of sight or comprehend the direction you are pointing... something which we humans take for granted haha...

Re: Understanding A Doggy's Tail Wag
Hmm....
My dogs wag their tails when they are happy.
But when they are watchful, anxious, their tail will be up but not wagging.
When they are scared, their tails will be between their legs.
I also hope whoever it is will make tail chopping and ear clipping illegal. My Missy also has her tail cut off when she was a pup. Well, not cut off. The breeder tie a very very tight rubberband around her tail for a very very long time until part of the tail eventually drop off. This is sickening.
