We had stopped at a traffic light and I looked over at the passenger in the car next to us. It was a long light.
By the expression on his face, he seemed a bit tired, and a little bit grumpy. I understood! It was very hot with the sun beating down, even with the air on.
He asked his companion why the woman in the next car was taking a photo. "She doesn't want me to smile does she? I don't smile when I am hot and grumpy."
"She's so boring, I wish she would leave me alone. She keeps smiling at me" but he gave me his good side, and posed as if he was on a model's runway. "Give her a smile, you'll feel better for it" his companion said.
"I wish she would leave me alone." but he gave me his good side anyway.
And then, of all things, he gave me a wink....and a smile....sort of....and his day and my day brightened.
"Now go away woman with black box in front of face. The light has changed and it is time for me to help my human navigate. He would no doubt get lost without me."
This was all done telepathically and I speak dog you know. I wish! But the way technology and science is going, it won't be long before we can speak to all the animals. We will all be Dr. Doolittle. Everything will come to pass and that will be a happy day. And don't forget that smile! A smile goes a long way even if you don't understand each other’s language. With a smile we can all speak telepathically, and all will be understood.
Such a cute face! Who is Dr. Doolittle anyway?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't he though? Thanks for asking about Dr. Doolittle Angie. I have added a link that has the information now. He's a fictional character who could talk to animals in a 1967 musical of the same name. I always enjoyed it and was a favorite of mine back in the day :)
DeleteOh my, what a sad sack! These poor breeds always look like this, so you never really know how they are feeling. They look sad even when they are not! But the wink is priceless. Wishing you lots of big smiles this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI know Ginny :) I have always adored them. Thanks so much, wishing you the same.
DeleteOh gosh! This is so adorable, Denise. You certainly caught his sentiments beautifully. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Kay, so happy you enjoyed :) You have a wonderful weekend also.
DeleteLove this Denise.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, thank you Margaret :)
DeleteThanks for the smiles - and how I wish I could be Dr Doolittle. He has long been a hero of mine.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome and I am happy it gave you them :) Lovely to have a kindred spirit in the Dr. Doolittle fan club :)))
DeleteSuper pies taki fajny. Świetnie napisany p9st. Mam takiego psiego sąsiada też tak czasami na mnie patrzy jak do niego mówię:)) Udanego tygodnia:)

They are sweet dogs aren’t they? Thank you Donna, so glad. Hugs to you too :)
DeleteWhat a sweetheart he is.
ReplyDeleteAgree wholeheartedly, thank William :)
Deleteeach photo my smile got bigger and bigger. he/she is absolutley adorable. I want to hug and kiss on this Doc Doolittle Dog.. what a great way to pass the time at a traffic signal.
ReplyDeleteI couldn’t believe how lucky I was to be side by side with this cutie :) We usually have to wait a long time for the traffic signal to change because of rush hour, but not this time. It went way too quickly.
DeleteOh that face. He does look a bit grumpy. I thoroughly enjoyed your conversation with him. Wouldn't it be nice to be like Dr. Doolittle. I would love to know what Gibbs is thinking sometimes.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Ann :) it certainly would and I would like to hear that conversation :)
DeleteWhat a cute post, I enjoyed the cute dog photos and the chatter. Take care, have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat’s great, so glad :) Thanks Eileen, I wish you the same.
DeleteHe got such a character!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly was :)
DeleteBased on that dogs expressions you nailed his thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too :) He has a really expressive face doesn’t he?
DeleteWhat a cutie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn, I agree :)
DeleteThis post is so darling, Denise! It actually brought a tear, not of sadness but of happiness. Thank you for always bringing smiles!
ReplyDeleteHappy you enjoyed Martha Ellen :) That is so sweet of you and you are so very welcome.
DeleteGood conversation with the dog in the car next to you. You didn't quite get to politics.
ReplyDeleteOh dear me no Red, none whatsoever, lol!
DeleteI absolutely love this! Thanks for the smile.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, that makes me happy and you are very welcome :)
DeleteI did enjoy this Denise :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
So glad Jan, and all the best to you too :)
DeleteHahaha
ReplyDeleteHappy this brought you a chuckle. Thanks Christine :)
DeletePart of the expression is the droopy nature of the pup's face - he has to work harder to smile. Love this post!
ReplyDeleteA lovely description Carol :) thank you! Happy you enjoyed, thank you!
DeleteI like these stories!
ReplyDeleteThat’s great Jenn, thank you :)
DeleteLike yourself, Denise, I have seen and captured several dogs in the passenger seat. The most recent was last week also at a traffic stop. I enjoyed your interpretation of what the dog could have been thinking.
ReplyDeleteThey are always fun to take photos of aren’t they? :) Glad you enjoyed mine, thanks Dorothy!
DeleteSo cute! I have a suspicion you talk to the animals pretty well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, you may have something there :)
DeleteA delightful post, Denise. Sometimes I'll see an attractive dog in the car next to me, and don't take pictures cause I'm not sure the owner would want me to. But good for you for getting some poses of the dog. He does look a little grumpy.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Thank you Sheri :) I know what you mean, when the opportunity presents itself, I ask the owner if I can take their dog’s photo. I have even sent them copies when they have asked me to.
