Twinkie's National Dog Week Show Us Your Tongue Contest

Twinkie is having a giveaway contest to celebrate National Dog Week.  She asked for suggestions  for what kind of contest but didn't get a lot, and finally came up with "Show Us Your Tongue" as a theme for the competition. Sounds easy, right? Not for us so much. We keep our tongues firmly in our cheeks most of the time. Oh, mine comes out to apply generous licks to my humans, or any humans who stand still long enough for that matter. But it's hard to take a picture while you're being licked. The rest of the time all you get is a glimpse of my tongue. There are like three existant photos that include a decent image of my tongue. This is probably the best of them. It's an action shot, as  you can see.


I don't know if it's a breed thing, but  it might be. We're not even sure we've really seen Franklin's tongue. He seems to have been taught not to lick by his former humans. I'm working on unteaching him. Now I get an occasional kiss from him and once in a while he'll lay a quick one on one of the humans, but not often. That's a shame, because we Pei are very good at kisses. We approach it very seriously. As for our mostly hidden tongues, I think it might be that our mouths have plenty of room for our tongues so even if we're panting  the most you'll usually see of it is just the tip. So, even though I can't really compete with some of the world class doggy tongues out there, this is my modest submisison - the best I can do.

  4. Hi Lola,

    Now, we think that's a great entry photo. Hmmmm, does the contest have tongue categories? Like - um - drooling tongue shots, action tongue shots, sleeping tongue shots? Cos if it did we think you'd totally win the action tongue shot category!! Er - doesn't tongue start to sound like a weird word when you woof it a lot?! He he he!

    Good luck! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.

  7. Oh, Lola! You should most definitely stick your tongue out more often cuz it's super cute! With the black and the pink - it's like an ice cream swirl or something!

    I like this contest! I have a pretty good tongue pic that I can enter - even though it's been on my bloggie before. But I don't think it's as cute as yours!

    PeeS. Brudder Ranger is not as much into the kisses as I am. Maybe it's a boy thing?

  18. We thinks the no showin of the tongue thing is a Pei thing. Our mommy doesn't gots any pictures of our tongues either. But we gots em cause we likes to kiss. As a matter of fact mommy says Bobo can kiss you from across the room. But she doesn't have a picture so is it real or not real?

  24. Besides having a super cute tongue you got one other thing exactly right.....Pei's are good kissers!!!! Oops....did I say that out loud?
    I do have a question. Do all Pei's have speckled tongues? Me and Momma are just curious.
    Good luck!
