The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

Oh Carbon, I definitely missed your jet setting photos whilst I was MIA ❤
Very glad to have you back. ❤

And Carbon is happy to continue to provide those incredibly sad Resting Misery Face photos. You'd think that he HATES these walks we do, but in fact when he's not posing, that tail is always wagging and he's happy as a clam.

I do realise that I've created a monster because I give him a little piece of kibble for every photo, so that's really his "Oh I am such a hungry Labrador gentleman, could you not please feed me NOW!" face.

De verdad, really, ML, I wish you would stop stealing my thread. You are also spreading unfair falsehoods because the fact is that I AM a hungry gentleman who never eats ANYTHING and who is so sad from a perpetual hungry tummy. I must make those sad faces to get food before I fall over from starvation.

Aye, aye, aye, if you would simply feed me a full meal every 15 minutes for 20 or so hours per day, I would be able to stop the sad starvation eyes. Pfft!

Beautiful! But I can’t help but think that Carbon’s expression is one of: Who is that taking the photo??!
Por favor, my face is only expressing my overwhelming fear that whomever this stranger is taking my photo that may not understand that I am PAID in cookies for each photo. Can you imagine if my photo was taken WITHOUT getting a cookie afterwards? I could starve to death! This is why I look so very worried, because food is on the line and we all know how we Labrador gentlemen and ladies feel about our food.

Also I personally feel that on this trip to Italy, I am absolutely perfecting my "poor starving little dog" look to a professional level of acting that practically no other dog has achieved in the history of dogdom. The sad eyes, the creased brow, the downturned corner of the mouth, the dejected set to my lovely soft ears. It really is a thing of beauty that expresses all of the amor that I have for my food and the concern that I have that I may - someday - not have enough.

De verdad, what would happen if ML went out without our treat pouch? It could be a disaster! So you see, even if I am not REEEEEALY starving in that particular moment, I must continue to make these incredible sad faces so that she never, ever, ever, forgets to BRING THE TREATS.

Ojala, ML did give me a cookie after the nice gentleman took our photo. Though she did make a bad joke about, "If I am in the photo, who is going to feed ME a treat?" and threaten to eat one of MY cookies.

That was scary, che paura. ML really should not joke about food to a Labrador. That is never going to end well, as now I will double-down on my sad hunger starving face. Even if ML has taken to grumbling about how I look like a tortured hostage in EVERY SINGLE PHOTO on our holiday. I cannot help it if I am the greatest Labrador thespian/model of all time!

Feliz año nuevo, amigos! Yesterday ML and I took a photo safari on an island one hour’s boat ride away from Venice. The whole day was six hours and 300+ photos of yours truly: I am so proud of my ability to make exactly the same sad and HUNGRY face in each photo. ML says to apologise in advance for my resting face of misery. Pfft! I do not even know what that means. I, a spectacular Spanish gentleman, give only the BEST face, de verdad?C5CB4AFB-C820-41D6-BCAD-E4DEF6736F71.jpeg
