Wordless Wednesday: tickle experiment


He’s back and he looked like he lost a couple of pounds since we saw him 2 weeks ago. Nevertheless, Butchok the ShihPoo is still an adorable gentle dog in his own right… which made him an easy target for mischief science experiment. EJ called it as the dog tickle response. Here’s the video:

what i’m saying is…


Do you speak dog? If so, could you please me what Butchok the ShihPoo is saying… I could only guess what he wants such as:

  • a. ”i want my mama Lin”;
  • b. “i wanna play with Princess”;
  • c. “how ’bout some belly rub, cuddle or tussle…”;
  • d. “got some treats?”;
  • e. “let me in…”
  • f. “sheesh…Cassie is bossy…”

but… then again, I may be lost in translation…
