The reproachful sigh

“I was watching my favorite show last night”, my mother once told me.

She’s a huge NCIS fan. “I was caught up in the action, the next moment the blood froze in my veins.”

Mom’s been an ER Surgery Nurse, she doesn’t scare easily. “I was alone in the room when somebody sighed, just next to me”, she explains.

No time for criminal investigations, my mother bursts into laughter.
“It was Tara!”

Our dog’s bedtime ritual consisted of retiring early together with dad. A couple of hours later she would wake up, find mom by the TV and WAIT for her to come to bed.

Wait quietly at first… then begin to sigh.
A nasal, long sigh, while all the time keeping her back towards mom. It was Tara’s reproachful, emphasized moan: “and how much longer will you keep ME awake?”
The grumpy sigh

My husband and I had a big yard and Gina, a mature Doberman – Rottweiler cross, when we decided to adopt a Rottweiler puppy.

That’s how Athos rolled into our lives, a compact mass of black fur. For a few weeks Gina wanted nothing to do with the curious intruder.

At first she would jump up and move as soon as he came near her, like he had the plague. Later on she would just switch on her siren.

Puppy approaching?

Grumpy sigh ‘on’ and Athos, warned, would keep his distance.

It wasn’t long until they became inseparable, although the pup’s endless energy proved quite tiring!

The happy sigh

This is the “full of expectations sigh”, the “I can SEE in your eyes that you ARE going to play with me” sigh.

Usually accompanied by a furry, eager head pressed tight against you.

The sigh no dog should be without.

It is my favorite sigh.
