Ha, I'm game. He's never been in a pool before, but I'm sure he'd love it, especially if I can be with him the whole time.  

I'd love to check out your work and the pool.

It's constant at the lake: hey, how'd you do that? I thought Huskies hated water??

I just say: snap peas.

Zack's Arya swims too. Korra...no way.

Man. Bella would swim in her water bowl if she could fit. She LOVES water. Mechta I'm not sure on. Never tried. If Bella would do it - she would follow though.

Sheba loves the water as well! Always has. Huskies don't swim...pfft!!

Brooklyn, a husky at work will play woth a hose and a kiddie pool, but not the big pool.

Mishka loooves water. I've never had the chance to get him to really swim so I'm not sure he'd like it and thankfully he's never tried jumping into our above ground pool.

Yuki gives me those ears whenever I'm making fun of her (I make fun of her.. a lot..), and when shes content/happy, and when shes annoyed. The two photos below show the content and the annoyed.


Link makes the side-ears when he's super excited and has the zoomies.



And not to go off on a tangent, but my two LOVE water!! I can't keep them away.
Here's Yuki swimming at the lake

And Link chasing Bourbon at a dog pool event

Lucian hates water. Gives me that look all the time though. About all he wants to do with water is drink it. I can't even get him to step in the kiddie pool. Won't play with the hose or a sprinkler either. Throws a fit when it comes to a bath too.

Hmm, my experience with any dog whatsoever with the last bit is not true at all.  

Fair enough, there was a reason I edited in 'a general rule of thumb' though.
If you think about it, being greeted with ears pinned back but happy body language could be explained by being happy to see the person, but unsure of whats going to happen in the situation, doesn't mean they're scared of you or anything, just means they're not sure what's going to happen.
As Eric pointed out - the ears are only part of the whole body language.

That's cool. I can see how OH MY GOD I MISS YOU and extreme excitement can be a form of uncertainty.

I definitely wasn't saying it wasn't true, it's just that I have learn to perceive ears back as positive and not negative....that's all.
