check out my uvula

            Eva:  Bruno, do dogs have uvulas?
Bruno:  Oooh, I love when you talk in skittles!
Eva:  Skittles?  Why are you talking about skittles?
Bruno:  You know, when you ask a tricky question that no one can ever know the answer to.
Eva:  I'm pretty sure you mean riddles.  Skittles are candy, about the size of M&Ms and covered with a weird waxy coating in various colours.
Bruno.  Man, I do love skittles.  Taste the rainbow.
Eva:  Back to my question - do dogs have uvulas?
Bruno.  You and your riddles.  I give up - do they?
Eva:  Dude, I have no idea.  That's why I'm asking you.
Bruno:  I'd love to give you an answer, but I have no idea what a uvula is.
Eva:  You know - humans have them, the dangly thing in the back of their throats?
Bruno:  Is it chicken?  I love it when chicken dangles in the back of my throat!
Eva:  Nope, it's not chicken.  
Bruno:  Is it salami?
Eva:  Nope.  This conversation appears to be going no where fast.  I'm just going to bounce along beside you with my mouth wide open until you look in there and give me an answer.
Bruno:  OK, but if I find any chicken, it's mine!

---------------------

A shot from a few weeks ago in the fresh snow.  These two crack me up.

I'm really having fun with these (semi)imagined conversations.  Enough so that I'll be migrating them into an album on my photo stream over the next couple of days.

And to my contacts with dogs I ask - do you think they have uvuvlas?  And you can't pry their mouths open to look before answering.    I've resisted the temptation to directly visualize to keep some element of mystery alive.
