I mean like really blue or depressed like people? Sometimes my doggies look dispirited if my son or my wife are gone for a while. They get that real hound dog look, big eyes and all. But then I'll say "Who wants a treat?" or "Who wants to go for a walk?" and they're immediately the happiest creatures on earth.
Are they just fickle? Are they always optimistic and happy even when they look sad? Do the concepts of impermanence, suffering, and interconnectedness ever cross their minds? Death? Do they ever wonder if there's anything more than this?
