Bruce adds: “I don’t see why this is amusing. As I recall, I was simply waiting for you to get on with some pressing business involving an important stick.”

oh, his so cute!! And I love all of your new designs! You are very talented and a true inspiration! =)
Hugs to Bruce, just for being a Good Dog.
Ha ha. I love this pic. He has one ear back ready for action. So what happened with the stick?
Glad he is back to true form. Woof Woof.
It’s always so annoying when your ear goes the wrong way
I like posts from Bruce because they always seem to mean things are going well!
simply: dogs are the best. so humble and honest. bruce is adorable
I love when their jowls get all pfloofed up like that! But my dog gets embarrassed when I take a pic that portrays him as anything less than noble.
Love when dogs lips get stuck in their teeth ~ Bruce is adorable and handsome all at the same time!
Brave Bruce!!!
Hello Bruce, I hope the business with the stick went well. These humans never seem to get their priorities right do they? Never mind, they are really cute to have around. bisous xx Fleur
Too, too much. The ear, the lopsided “grin”, those trusting eyes! He looks recovered from his incident.
gorgious
Too precious!!
I am amazed Bruce stood still long enough to get his picture taken with ear back and mouth aside. That must have been one good stick!
What a handsome boy (even if one ear is inside out!!)
I know that look, I’ve seen it on my own black lab. Its so pensively waiting for what it seems to take forever for humans to get around to doing. They look so intent on the stick! Never mind how they look or that their ears are going different ways, and their mouth is askew. Just throw the stick! lol.
I’m always glad to see posts by Bruce, too. I enjoy your historical and knitting posts, but there is something about Bruce that just makes my heart leap. :) Dogs are something special.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen that look before. It usually involves a food dish or a Frisbee!
Stick friends in Sweden agree that humans are too slow at throwing ;)
Ah yes, the Elvis impersonation complete with the curled lip and pompadour ear; I know it well!
ohhhhh grrrl
I love the ear flopped back look. My dog often has that same expression when I laugh at such cuteness!
Thanks for the chuckle, Bruce (& Kate, your thumb-maiden). You are such a lovey lab.
Well, Bruce, our Tucker has an identical expression to yours in the same situation! Even though he looks a bit different, being a “sorta setter”!
OH, you made my day! My ‘mad dog’ is half way across the field in anticipation if she sees an important stick. Bruce has learned delayed gratification :) Such a good dog .
I love labs. Have a blonde named Dempsey named after Jack Dempsey and a black one named Hondo, from a John Wayne movie. They are the best! Dogs bring much comfort and entertainment to those of us who appreciate them.
Bruce, you are a soulful and patient yet impatient dog. I know we would get along ever so famously if we met … I sometimes have that look in my eye when waiting for my human to throw me my favorite catnipped fish toy.
Cheers – George Bailey the wonder kitty :)
Gidday Bruce – sometimes you just have to hang with it! The Big Ones grandchildren have all gone home and I have my ears back to myself again but I’ll keep looking for some more Lego bits to chew… Love Woody …….
I can relate to Bruce… as a human even !
Our old dog Manson used to have one ear that would flop over like that and one of us would always have to say “Manson, you look ridiculous, fix your ear”. It was always funny. We miss him.
Bruce is always keeping life in perspective :-)). We should learn to keep it so simple.
Made me smile. :-)
Aren’t they adorable when their ear is inside out? And I defy anyone not to turn it the right way out!
It must be refreshing to have your earflap turned open to the air, if you’re a floppy-eared dog. Go for both!
I share your pain Bruce.

I note that a certain “Susan” comments that my friend Bruce has learned “delayed gratification”. HaH! Bruce and I know better, don’t we Bruce? The “ear flip”, the “head resting on crossed paws”, and “lizard eyes” are well-known ploys used by our clans to get Big Legs moving! Have to say, Bruce, I like your style. The slightly worried eye brows over unblinking brown eyes is a nice touch.
Lizzy A–Perfect. Bruce is indeed an Elvis impersonator – and a good one at that.
