Day 5: Yellow - Jinks, are you laughing at me? by quietpurplehaze

Day 5: Yellow - Jinks, are you laughing at me?

I crouched down to get an eye-level shot of the yellow ragwort with the sky in the background and suddenly found that I had toppled backwards and was sitting in the long grass. Jinks came to see what I was doing so I included him in the next photo. (So much for puddle-shooting {@judithg} which I was thinking of trying next!)
@judithg not sure if this works!

lol What you playing at mum?? How is the paw? All recovered? That is some tall ragwort!!

Hmmm - maybe practice in private!! I do like that fact that our canine friends come to us when we fall over - I went flying as a result of of wonky pavement and dropped the lead - Monty stopped charging off to the park and came to give me a quizzical look instead!

@Cherrill Thanks for asking, the paw is fine now. Well yes, tall ragwort but remember I am sitting onn the ground taking that shot!

@judithg That was solicitous of Monty & now you mention it, each time I've done something silly like drop the lead or slip over, Jinks does stop and wait. (He doesn't go off lead as he's just TOO naughty!)

so amusing and a nice subject too :)

Yes, all my dogs have always come to peer down at me when flat on the ground - or in a ditch as once happened! Great shot of Jinx and I do recognise that look of amused pity!

What a SWEET portrait of your boy Jinks!!!

@tishpics I guess they recognise it as not normal behaviour. A ditch - now there's something to aspire to!

@gnilrets Well he was not so sweet today after I'd given him a nice trim and groom. He almost immediately went into the garden and
rolled gleefully in the 'calling card' left on our grass by a fox or cat. So then he had to have a bath,

Very nice photo and I loved the story.

I think he thinks its game time with you on the ground. I am sure he is smiling (or laughing). A great shot, and you did capture yellow!

Thanks everyone for your lovely and encouraging comments. Jinks is indeed very sweet - when he's not being a rascal!
