Speedy is the most tortured creature I’ve ever seen. I’m proud of how far she’s come along since we got her, but every now and then, she regresses to her old ways. As I was playing around with my new camera, I took this picture:
I really feel like this moment captures Speedy’s general emotional state. Her wrinkled brow expresses a constant state of worry. Her ears standing at attention scream paranoia. The lines on her face converge to a mouth in a perpetual frown. Finally, her eyes emote a deep dark sadness.
Of course, I’m making all of this up. She’s just a dog. I’m just glad she’s calmed down a bit. Hopefully someday I can look at her and feel like she’s at peace.
