Is the dog mad or playing?

[Jake-A-Roonie]

Well, his ears go down for just a moment and then come back up, but his tail is always up above his rear. Sound like playing?

That does sound like playing, like he's enjoying it, but I would watch his body language carefully, just in case!

I used to ask Tyler the Sheltie "where did your ears go?" when he was very, very happy, they'd be so far back they'd be invisible!
