Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Ha, I'm game. He's never been in a pool before, but I'm sure he'd love it, especially if I can be with him the whole time.
I'd love to check out your work and the pool.
It's constant at the lake: hey, how'd you do that? I thought Huskies hated water??
I just say: snap peas.
Zack's Arya swims too. Korra...no way. |

| Man. Bella would swim in her water bowl if she could fit. She LOVES water. Mechta I'm not sure on. Never tried. If Bella would do it - she would follow though. _________________ |

| Mishka loooves water. I've never had the chance to get him to really swim so I'm not sure he'd like it and thankfully he's never tried jumping into our above ground pool. _________________ |

| Yuki gives me those ears whenever I'm making fun of her (I make fun of her.. a lot..), and when shes content/happy, and when shes annoyed. The two photos below show the content and the annoyed. Link makes the side-ears when he's super excited and has the zoomies. And not to go off on a tangent, but my two LOVE water!! I can't keep them away. Here's Yuki swimming at the lake And Link chasing Bourbon at a dog pool event |

| Lucian hates water. Gives me that look all the time though. About all he wants to do with water is drink it. I can't even get him to step in the kiddie pool. Won't play with the hose or a sprinkler either. Throws a fit when it comes to a bath too. |

Ears forwards - confident/alert Out to the side - relaxed Fearful/uncertain - back and flat Hmm, my experience with any dog whatsoever with the last bit is not true at all.
Fair enough, there was a reason I edited in 'a general rule of thumb' though. If you think about it, being greeted with ears pinned back but happy body language could be explained by being happy to see the person, but unsure of whats going to happen in the situation, doesn't mean they're scared of you or anything, just means they're not sure what's going to happen. As Eric pointed out - the ears are only part of the whole body language. |

| That's cool. I can see how OH MY GOD I MISS YOU and extreme excitement can be a form of uncertainty.
I definitely wasn't saying it wasn't true, it's just that I have learn to perceive ears back as positive and not negative....that's all. |
