Description
Ralph does a lot of staring vacantly into space.
He is an old man now and shows signs of Canine Cognitive Dysfunction.
The main problem for me is persuading him to eat, which can take me up to an hour a day or more. At the moment chicken breasts are working, but he can suddenly go off whatever he fancied a day before!
Rosie appears concerned here, but is probably worried that she doesnt get offered the same expensive tempters!
Another which I think maybe I like better Here

Both pictures are great and I agree that the second is a better portrayal of Rosie's concern. Until today, I've never know of CCD. beautiful display of canine emotions

Very nice captures Andrea. Has Ralph hang a key on his collar?

Love her expression on both pics. Not always easy when they are being picky as they get older.

Rosie has probably noticed the changes in Ralph and may be concerned or at least curious. But, yes, she is certainly missing the treats. A touching image of the young lady and her big brother.

My old sweet Lab, Pearl, had something similar, only they called it Canine Dementia. Her last month she literally didn't know if she was in or out, up or down. She was 13, quite elderly for a Lab. A poignant foto of sweet Ralph and Rosie.

Yes, one can wonder, what is going on in their heads sometimes :) Such a sweet shot , Andrea.

Oh, the look dogs get when they are evaluating something. I often wish I could read their minds. Mostly they're waiting for a treat, or to go to the park, but sometimes it seems there's more.

Both pictures are beautiful Andrea.
Yes poor Rosie looks quite concerned indeed !

back for a few comments tonight and tomorrow. I wish I could do everything I've missed of yours, and I'm gonna try to write shorter so I can comment on more. But again, you know I see everything, and you certainly know how much I love this gallery...Another great dog shot from you, and yes, the flickr version shows Rosie even more concerned. Dogs pick up everything, she must know that Ralph is floating away at these times. Love the shot, and how the throw contrasts and picks up Rosies patterns.
