Dog Talk

Little a and I went to the Dane County Humane Society last night and heard a talk by Dr. Patricia McConnell about Dog Talking.

Tongue-Flicking

Dogs who repeatedly flick their tongue up to lick their nose are invariably uneasy, says Judy Iby, a registered veterinary technician in Milford, Ohio, and author of The New Owner's Guide to Cocker Spaniels. They often do this when they're assessing a new situation, debating whether or not to approach a stranger, or concentrating extra hard, such as during an obedience session, she says.
