I do not recommend listening to that with the sound up - the voices in slow mo sound quite terrifying
Funnily enough, I edited it with my speakers off. Once I posted it, I turned them on, and I concur. One to turn on once your OH has drifted off, just to scare the bejeebers out of him!
I seem to remember reading somewhere that while smiling is not natural for dogs (that grimace would normally mean something like a snarl to other dogs!), that our dogs sometimes learn to copy humans and communicate by using our facial expressions, in particular a smile! Isn't that amazing??? Clever AND pretty, that Willow!
I've also seen it described as appeasement. I think we'd all agree, she's not trying to appease us here I wonder if there's a genetic element, too, a bit like tongue rolling. Her mum, Ruby, is a bit smiler, and so is Annie, her sister. Shadow has never done it, though. Conchita does, but she looks demented
Rourke smiles like that and can now do it on cue, only trouble is he thinks the word "smile" means smile and jump on Mum
Molly does it very occasionally. I’ve read of the ‘Chessie grin’ so always thought it came from her mum.
That is lovely! None of mine smile really...Casper has a funny way of blowing out his "cheeks" when happy..his mouth is relaxed, sometimes he opens it wide showing his teeth, but all very soft
