The Adventures of Flat Dog

Typhoon was sprawled in his usual spot, under Hu-Dad’s desk in the study. He never left his flat dog pose while Hu-Dad crawled around photographing.

Yes, I am thin and make quite a flat dog impression. You are just jealous.

Hu-Dad expected that Typhoon would bounce up and move to another room to avoid all of the attention, but he patiently let the camera take quite a few photographs.

No, I will not give you other poses.

Typhoon believed his modeling duties did not include moving, posing, or doing anything other than remaining still. Well, there were a few facial expressions.

If that thing flashes one more time . . .

    Mom sez: I know it’s supposed to be fashionable to be “tall and slender” these days, but Typhoon seems to carry it to extreme. I imagine it’s his “genetic make-up”, but when he’s playing “flat dog”, he almost looks emaciated.

      We battle every day to get him to eat full meals. He bounces between 40 and 43 pounds and is the only dog that our vet would like to see gain a couple. He simply is not a fan of food. Never had a dog that has turned down steak, chicken, pork, bacon, hamburger, peanut butter, etc., etc., etc.

    I love Typhoon’s expressions…but did you ever think you would see the day when this pup would remain still? Bittersweet.
