You know dogs, particularly dogs with very thick coats, breath across their wet tongues to cool off, with their mouths open. I thinks it's so you won't kill them.</p> <p>They're basically annoying dogs, yapping, nervous, busy. Sometimes sweet, sometimes mean. The open mouth makes them look like they're smiling. They're bright eyed and perky, so they look intelligent and attentive. The smile makes them seem pleasant or happy. </p> <p>I guess it's a matter of the dog's personality fitting the human's.</p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><p><a href="http://www.woofspace.com/the_wiz/pomeranians_smile">read more</a></p> http://www.woofspace.com/the_wiz/pomeranians_smile#comment Sat, 17 Nov 2007 23:45:59 -0500 the wiz 519 at http://www.woofspace.com http://www.woofspace.com/the_wiz/after_the_lake <!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>My dogs always need a bath after they swim in the lake. I find their smell unendurable. The hose in my front yard is connected only to the cold water service, and the dogs don't like it. Does anyone know of a way to clean them without having them track lake muck through the house?</p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> http://www.woofspace.com/the_wiz/after_the_lake#comment Fri, 10 Aug 2007 13:16:41 -0400 the wiz 148 at http://www.woofspace.com
