What Feature of a Doodle Makes YOU "Melt"?

[shelly]

After being so sidetracked from DK by 'life'  lately, I took sometime yesterday and now this morning to catch-up. (gotta' LOVE those days off from work).  As I was looking at all of the posts and pictures of everyone's doodles, I realized that there was one feature that always gave me an "AWE!" moment.  Now we all love doodles for their intelligence, comical ways, and 'special' looks, but what is it that gives you that AWE MOMENT?   For me.... it's a really black nose.  I love the contrast of a black nose against the hair on a doodles face. Now, although it's very hard to see Tori's little black nose, it's there.  But on those lighter colored doodles - it is something that truly melts my heart!

Ooo yes!  I do love her ears too....secret time.... lean in closer to your monitor.....sometimes I even nibble on her ears with my lips...SH!

big nose and sleepy face, two of my fav doodle things! So cute!

For me it is his eyes, I truly feel like he is looking right into my soul.

[Donna K & Quincy]

I love noses, doodle butts, giant bear paws, floppy ears, soft bellies, soulful eyes, ah you get the idea! Quincy has this thing he does when you are talking to him and he doesn't know quite what you are saying he raises one eye and then the other in the equivalent to a human doing the raised eyebrow thing, it is so totallty adorable.

That about covers it all!  LOL

It is super hard to beat that just woke up, bed head, stretch, yawn and let out a squeeky noise moment each morning.  One favorite body part not mentioned which I just love is the furry strip near the bottom of back leg.  I call them his mukluks.

I don't have a really good picture but...

doodle butts melt my heart and I love their big furry soft paws

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I think it's their "softness", especially after they're groomed.  I notice it more with Murphy who feels like velvet.

Mmmmm.... I'm feeling that right now.  Tori was just groomed... Love it!

[Doris, Knox & Flash]

I just melt when I come in the house and get greeted at the door by Knox -- always with a toy in his mouth! I think he loves me SO much and just wants to share his favorite things with me! He wags his whole body when I acknowledge him AND his toy. "Hello, Knox and Mrs. Pig!!!" or "Hey, Knox and Mr. Cow!!" etc...

Harpo has a way of talking that I just love.  It sounds rather like gargling or having a mouth full of marbles.  I haven't known another dog to do this, but Harpo usually does it first thing in the morning.
