Me, I wear my emotions on my mug. And if I can’t get my message across through my expression, I can talk. I have several varieties of specialized barks (“I heard the grass growing”) and whines (“I really gotta go”) and hard-to-describe squeals (“Pet me. Pet me now.”). Some dogs keep it a bit closer to the chest, though. If you have an inscrutable pet, check out “How to Read Your Dog’s Facial Expression,” at Quick and Dirty Tips, dogtrainer.com. (Full disclosure: one of my owners works for the company that produces Quick and Dirty Tips.)
