This would be Brian's "I'm tired" smile. We had puppy just in the kitchen at first. We bought a baby gate and closed it off. It made for easy clean up of accidents, but everytime we would try and do anything in the rest of the house, this little guy would HOWL! I realize he's a hound dog, so he's got a nice set of lungs, but WOW! So, now he has reign over the downstairs. The king of the carpet! He's not allowed of the furniture, and luckily is too small to get up on it, so as long as we never let him on it, he'll know it's not for him.
