​THE EARS OF PINKY

    This is my California grand dog,

...a little rescue male nonetheless christened as a puppy by my grand daughters with the name Rainbow Dash Sparkle Ariel Pinky Poo Fluffy Tail,

...whom we call Pinky for short.
     Pinky is an affable fella who peacefully co-exists with Yajou, the family cat.

...and who has never met a human he didn't want to be sitting next to.

...or sitting on,

...or hanging out with.

     Pinky  contributes more than his fair share to the family cute quota.

      And though Pinky's been a member of the family for almost five years, it was only during this past visit that I noticed that he had one very distinctive feature: Make that two very distinctive features: His ears.
         One day I happened to notice that pinky had ears kind of like Baby Yoda's.

    But then I noticed that sometimes they'd look more like grown-up Yoda's,

...or might even go into more of a half-Yoda.

      Nor, I soon realized, were his ears always Yodaesque; sometimes they stood up like those of the fox in "The Little Prince."

       Other times his ears would just flop back,

...or flip up as if in a "ready for take-off" position.

     Seemed Pinky's ears might flip, flop, float, or point any which way.

      Is Pinky trying to communicate something, his ear moves a sort of doggie sign language? Or do his ears simply have a mind of their own?
        Try as we might, we may never know.
