Is it just the perspective or does Cirrus have huge ears?
I’m guessing she insists you remove the leafy bit 
Edit to add: Cirrus could really be Nimbus’s sister if they weren’t born hundreds of miles apart

She hasn’t quite grown into them. Maybe she won’t?
She’s pretty dainty, approaching 7 lbs. Nimbus is a big boy, right?

She pretends it’s a tiny cigarette.

A very big boy. Cracking 11 pounds now at 9 months. 7 pounds is respectable. But she does look far more delicately built. Nimbus is a bit of a brick house

Boone from yesterday, showing off what I call “That face”. I’ve had him about 10 months now; he spent a year in a shelter in Tennessee before being relocated to Ontario. The shelter said that he had been taken in as a stray, and had obviously been on his own for a long time, given his poor physical condition. He is a lovely, lovely boy, and my vet feels that he could be a therapy dog.

Here’s a fun little quiz to help people learn to read cats’ facial expressions:

I’m not that great at it yet, but it’s fun to practice.

That is interesting! A lot of knowing how a cat feels is reading their body movements. It’s so much harder when I can see only their face.

Wow. I fail similar tests of human faces (which is to be expected) every single time.
I got a perfect score, because it was cats rather than people.

Omg Boone is def a stumpy tailed cattle dog, and I look after one with very similar colouring here in Melbourne, Australia! I’ll have to transfer some photos of Leia to my new phone and post them but what a coincidence!

My vet thinks his tail is docked, not a natural bobtail. I think he’s mostly Pointer, although the rescue thought he was a stumpy tail red heeler
For comparison, here is Boone standing, at the cottage so you can see what he looks like upright, and my previous dog, Kia, Kelpie/Cattle Dog cross, I believe. He exhibits no Cattle Dog behaviour at all, but Kia most definitely was a herding breed; hyperfocused and obsessed with her ball and me.

Ah, ok, thanks. I see now his tail does look shorter than Leia’s, which the owner said is natural. She’s a beautiful girl in nature and looks but was terribly abused in her previous life and now has such bad anxiety she can’t be left alone. Well, she can be, but she scratches and chews inedible things and last time she was left by herself ended up with a stomach and bowel blockage and had to have surgery to clear it. Anyway, here’s some pics!

She does look like him! The same derpy ears and similar markings. I call him Dobby dog because of the ears. I had to take a second look at the pic where she’s asleep with her head on the pillow in profile, because they look so much alike. Leia is not a purebred though, right? I wonder what other breed is in there?
I might do a DNA on Boone one day.
