We are up early. As Bob clambers into the back of the car in the half light you can see his drooly face. One side is definitely paralyzed and higher than the other. This gives him a rather reflective, whimsical look. No sign of an improvement in the eye but no need to worry. 'The Font' is much more observant in important things than Angus.
While I bring the rubbish bags out to the car the family fellow carefully monitors two grub hunting blackbirds on the lawn. A male PONs work of guarding his flock against avian intruders is never done. He is so immersed in his task he is surprised when I appear and close the tailgate. He gives me a 'Blimey! I wasn't expecting that " look.
Sophie is having a flat hair day.
She can appear like a dishevelled angel....
... but sometimes the i-Phone's camera can manage to record one of her '' oaf of a brother - don't go near my food " moments. The return of sibling 'savaging' we interpret as a good sign. Bob seems happy that normal service is being resumed.
So starts a post-Christmas Tuesday morning in deepest, deepest France profonde.
Here's something brilliant from Trinidad. The accompaniment is not what you'd expect :

One can never tire of pictures of Bob and Sophie - one sees so much more than an asymmetrical face and a dishevelled hairdo.
With Bob ever watchful, we have no need to worry. Something has clearly delighted Sophie, judging by the happy look on her face in the last photo. The return of savaging?
He is an absolutely delightful fellow your Bob. If he were human he looks a little like he has Bells Palsy. Does it exist in dogs as well?
So much going on with each of them but so much joy !
Is it a bells palsy type of thing I wonder? I saw a post where someone got it after a bit of stress although the cause can be unknown.
Anyway give them both a pat from us in NZ.

The first picture of Sophie made me laugh out loud! Such a flat hair day indeed! Darling nonetheless, both of them.
We understand about Sophie's flat hair days. It's a girl thing. Glad to see her "smiling".
Bob may be demonstrating that a whimsical, reflective attitude is very useful these days.
As Bertie noted, one never tires of seeing their wonderfully expressive faces.
What a pleasure to see those dear PON faces after a few days away from the computer celebrating Christmas with half of our kiddos in Orlando (not Disney World). We too can't wait until diva savaging oaf of brother resumes.
We have a garden of Native plants to attract the birds, and the dogs chase them away....
Hello & a Late Merry Christmas! We were off to visit my father in Michigan the past few days. (Since he's 92 and a tad unsteady on his feet Mr Beau (still an 11 month old lab puppy with a WHOLE lot of ZIP stayed home.) I stayed in touch with the ROF on my iPhone each morning and it looked like a Wonderful Christmas. Ho Ho Ho !
Hugs to all! (especially Mr Bob, who is the true "FlockMaster")
Exactly ! ! ! :=)
