I'm curious to know if anyone else has a DS that "blushes" when very happy or excited ?? Normal colored skin in the ears/belly turning very bright pink/red when very happy or excited. (Usually, as far as I know, only seen in Pharaoh Hounds.)
Lyric has always done this, especially noticeable when playing upside down, "weight lifting" with her "gonuts" toy and really getting into it. (Leih, have you been watching for it with Geyser?) I just wondered if some of the other Dutchies do it too?

- Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Re: Blushing??
Odin's ears turn beat red when he's tired. He often fights sleep if I'm up working late and then his whole next day is screwed up. The ears are how I catch him. Not sure if anyone on here will get the Project Runway reference, but he has a command "if you're tired, take a nap!" and he goes off to his bedroom bed.

Re: Blushing??
Hmmm...I"ve never noticed this. I'll have to check Geyser's tummy when she's excited. I mostly notice how her tongue changes colors...
