Those Eyes...
Barney craves eye contact with me - and not just when we're playing herding games :) He will often come and sit inches from my face and just gaze solemnly at me, with a soft, gentle but curious look in his eyes... I know many dogs don't like prolonged eye contact, but Barney happily sits and looks calmly into my eyes for minutes at a time. It isn't a dominance thing, but he isn't fearful when I return the look either. He's a quiet dog mostly, but communicates very well with me, he has the most expressive eyes I've seen on a dog :) I love this one of him, it's my desktop background at the moment.
Sorry, I've barely been on Flickr the last few days, I was unwell last week with a flu type bug, so didn't get much work done. Unfortunately, I had a large piece of coursework to hand in yesterday and then another for today. I've spent the last few days typing thousands of words and doing a lot of research on fungal diseases of plants and producing bacteria that produce light!! I'm pretty tired now... Things should be a bit quieter now, for a bit at least,so I'll catch up with contacts properly soon :)
