The Side Tongue

It’s so cute when dogs hang their tongues out of their mouths, don’t you think? It turns out that this is a signal that they feel happy and calm. It’ll happen when you go out for a walk or play fetch. However, doing it too much might mean that they have the “hanging tongue syndrome,” which can be common among dogs that have flat noses like bulldogs or boxers.

Digging Holes

When your dog digs up the yard, they don’t have bad intentions. It’s an instinct to them that they’re born with. This is especially true with terrier breeds. Oftentimes, they dig in the yard to leave bones, toys, or other valuables. It’s also possible that they’re looking for prey or bury their dead.
