[Dailydrool] OK, SO MAYBE I'M JUST PARANOID

[Sfwill at aol.com]

i have been reading some books that the someone on the Drool  recommened.  
"For the Love of a Dog" and "the Other End of the Leash", both  by Patricia 
McConnell, animal behaviorist.  the reviews i read on amazon  were great, so 
i bought them for myself and started reading "For the Love of a  Dog."  
it's basically about reading your dog's body language.  and how  what we think 
they're thinking, they're not.  so anyways, she puts a great  deal of 
attention on the open or slacked mouth of a dog and says if your dog  regualrly 
has an open or slaked jaw, he is happy.  she says no matter what  else he may 
be doing, it the mouth is not open, he's not happy.  well,  gus's mouth is 
never open!  his tail wags 24/7, even when he sleeps and i  walk in the room, 
his eyes don't open but the tail is a-wagging.  so now,  i'm so worried 
that he's not happy, i'm sick over this.  would love to hear  from you folks on 
what you think.  do your dogs walk around with an open  mouth most of the 
time?  HELP!!!!!!!!!!
thanks, 
susan, loving slave to Gus
