The golden I used to have did similar things w/her ears/eyes when I approached w/a leash. It was a habit formed from years of me sliding a new collar on with the leash attached. She'd squint and pull her ears back in anticipation of the collar being slid over her head.
The smile? I never got that.
@AJs:
See, Dan? First you tick everybody off, now you make everybody cry.
But you're still not getting off the hook that easy. You will NOT be banned and in fact will be required to stay. :D
What?! That's it I'm going back to my stupid jokes!
The dog didn't die. He survived. The little dog pulled him to the side of the HWY and the firemen came.
At least that was what was in the first report! Sorry.
