Ninja smiles, I swear it's true

My dog smiles at me, I swear! When I walk on the door, there is a frenzied, energetic mutt, jumping up on his hind legs, baring his teeth. It looks like the snarl of an angry dog, but he's not angry, he's very happy. He's smiling! Even more adorable, when he gets in trouble, his ears lay back, he crouches in shame, and looks up at me and smiles, as if to say "Don't be mad at me". No Joke, it's one of the funniest things. I just might have to catch that one on video so you can see it. It's not actually an easy thing to catch with a camera, he moves so dang fast! This pic is a little out of focus because he's so excited. Yes, I know, I am tired of hearing myself make excuses for photography mistakes as well, but that's why I am doing this, in order to get better by making myself photograph things every day. So, this is what I see whenever I walk through the door. And please, please, do not make fun of my ugly croc sandals, I wear what I can find in a size 12/13. It's an ugly fashion scene for a big footed gal. But I'll leave that for another day.
