Juniper Friday! Boo Boo Face

Juniper, a dog, is lying on the bed and, let’s be honest, scowling at the camera. She seems very cross, despite having her squirrel and her shark as company.

A long-time fan of this page asked me the other day, “Is Juniper… depressed?” While I don’t think that’s the case, she is certainly a dogs with big moods that she wears on her sleeve. When she’s had enough of something (whatever it might be), she quietly exits and recharges her batteries somewhere more peaceful. When she’s tired but also feels the need to remain vigilant, she takes on a long-suffering expression that we have referred to for years as “boo boo face.” Here, we one such instance. Look at her, being a huge boo boo. Not pictured is the party currently unfolding elsewhere in the house that is too noisy and boisterous for Juniper’s liking, so much so that she can’t really get much respite from it even by retreating to the guest room.
