Dual personality

When my dog and I were on our morning walk, a little dog across the street from where we were walking yipped at us. My dog instantly manifested what I think of as his outdoor personality.

He has two personalities, indoor dog and outdoor dog. His indoor dog is typified by this picture.


When he is living his indoor self, his general demeanor expresses: "I am a small dog with large eyes. I am warm and furry. I need love and affection. Also food would be nice."

I have no photos of his outdoor personality (because when it shows up, he's usually running ahead of me on his leash, and that's not the best angle for me to take a picture of him). But when he takes on his outdoor self, his attitude proclaims, "The curl of my tail over my back expresses my supreme dogliness. I snort in a challenging manner at joggers and other dogs. I chase cats to the fullest extent of my leash. I pee on all I survey."
