Jacqueline: Ear Cleaner Extraordinaire.

For some odd reason, Jackie enjoys a good ear cleansing. Not her own ears mind you, but those of any other warm blooded being that has ears accessible to a little dog with a long tongue.

We learned this about Jacqueline soon after we brought her home. I remember holding her up close to my face, (because nothing is as special as holding a little warm furry doggie up against one's cheek,) and her promptly putting one paw on my cheek to balance herself, and then plunging her tongue right into the old ear canal. At first it was a bit repulsive, but as time went on it became endearing, and so now one of Jacqueline's official duties is that of Ear Cleaner.

Relaxing with her daddy and her sister Thalia, Jackie spies a dirty ear. Not one to let a dirty ear go unattended to, Jackie goes straight to work. Thalia has long gotten used to her sister sticking her tongue into her ear. You can see in this photo that Thalia is actually offering her ear up for cleaning by leaning towards Jackie to give her better access. Angel loves to have his ears cleaned.

Check in next week for a new chapter in The Adventures of Angel and Jacqueline. And don't forget to check out the Carnival of the Dogs at Mickey's Musings, and the Friday Ark at The Modulator for more interesting animals.
