Image replaced with a better one.

I knew you were a dog person, Jim. How is life without one?
I can't imagine. I really liked having two. Maybe after I retire?

Coco's body language tells more than her facial expressions
(which are still pretty telling). She is a consummate student
of human behavior and knows exactly where everyone in the
house is, what they are doing, and how they are feeling. I once
joked that she was sent by the inhabitants of Planet Dog to spy
on us, although I can't imagine why they would be interested.

Dave - I am a dog person. I had a golden for 14 years back in MN when the kids were growing up. I have 2 golden "grand-dogs" now, and a couple of others previous to them.

Goldens are also quite expressive with their looks and actions. I also believe that dogs are more intelligent and aware than most people give them credit for. And they are like people - there is a gaussian like distribution of intelligence, athletic ability, etc.

So anyway, I can see it in her face.

You're more right than you know, Jim. Our daughter expects a daily picture or video of her. I took this while my wife was Facetiming with her, so this was double trouble in the dog's eyes.

I normally prefer to shoot pets from a low angle, so she may also have been questioning my departure from normal practice. I know it's a lousy shot and have a better one in mind.

Coco doesn't really know what a cat is, other than a strange smell at the vet's office and another four-legged creature walking past the window (perhaps a long-legged squirrel?)

LOL.
The look on her face and tilt of her head says "Why are you doing this again?"

McCoy the cat looks unconcerned about any competition. Paul
