Dogs' ears and kindergarten songs

Via The Portuguese Water Blog I've just visited a new blog, The Teacher's Pets and had a laugh at a photo gallery of dogs' ears to accompany the lyrics of one of my favorite old children's songs, Do Your Ears Hang Low?

I thought there was only one verse, but there are lots. And at least two versions.

I got to thinking about ears. Here are the ears of Scruffy, our Tuesday visitor who is sitting near my computer:




And here are the ears of our lovely GSD friend Jabari:



Expressive ears, I think. And at first I thought Penny's ears, because they droop, don't have a story to tell - until I looked through some old pictures:

Her ears can express calmness.



They can go very flat when she doesn't like the big eye of the camera looking at her.



They can fly with her.





And, momentarily, just after grooming, they can look elegant. (And show she isn't too happy about the grooming!)
