Hi every bloggie!
It's eYewatch friday but today it's about seeing things another way. My catpal Kareltje posted about ears. My ears are more often my eyes. I leap to action the minute I hear something move. Mom says it's because I lack impulsive control. But anywhoo, it's neither here nor there. Kareltje asked.. how are dog's ears different and what do dog ears communicate. Here ya go Karltje! I'll do my best to demonstrate.
1-Aggression-Forward or back, close to head
1-Aggression-Forward or back, close to head
2-Alert-Perked-up. Turning to catch sounds.
3- Anxious-Partially back
4- Chase-Perked-up, forward-pointing.
5-Dominant-Up straight or forward.
6-Fearful-Laid back flat and low on head.
7-Friendly-Perked-up.
8-Curious/Eager/Excited- Perked-up, forward-pointing.
9- Playful-Perked-up and forward, or relaxed.
10-Predatory-Alert. Held forward or backward to catch.

Gee, We never knew you could do all that with just your ears. It's a great way to let your owners know what you are up to.
ReplyDeleteMe and Star are looking in the mirror right now doing all kinds of neat things with oour ears and it's fun except, our mommy is looking really confused. She's not that bright, you know?
Thank you for that most instructive lesson. I hope momma reads it so that she will understand my communications better. You certainly have a lot of moves.

Happy Eyewatch Friday Norwood! Thanks for all that cool info about a dog's ears! What great communication devices you have, those ears of yours! You could probably send S.O.S. signals through them too!(di-di-di-dah-dah-dah-di-di-dit)Hope you have a fantastic day!
ReplyDeleteyour pal,

Yooohoooo!!! Ear I am Norwood.Last again. I studied your very interesting post and yep your ears are perfect in every way. Though perhaps an earing in just one wouldn't go amiss. A gold hoop. Would give you a sort of pirate look. Yo ho ho.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend! Wiry love and kissies Eric xx
No matter which way your ears go, you are a handsome dude, Norwood. Thanks for sharing.

Very smart ears you have. My people say that my ears are very expressive. They did't get them cut to be pointy like many schnauzers do here in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteExcellent info. You have extremely cute ears for the demonstration. Purrs.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how we're just seeing you(saw Norwood's eyewatch at the happy heeler's place) we've been mia a bit(personal stuff), but would love to be friends. Any friends of the heelers, Asta, Ag/Arch, Mango.Dennis,etc(-need I go on?) is a friend of ours if you'll have us.
ReplyDeleteLove the ears!
