Tongue Out Cuties

Share this post!

I don’t know about you but I find it adorable and sometimes humorous to see cute little doggy tongues peeking out (and sometimes hanging out) of their mouths.

Do you ever wonder why dogs often have their tongues sticking out? There are various reasons.  Sometimes they are just panting because they are hot. Sometimes they are missing some teeth and so the tongue hangs out where the teeth would normally hold them in. Sometimes it’s due to age, or a birth defect, an overbite or under-bite, certain medications or injury. And sometimes they just are more comfortable with their tongue hanging out a little.

If they do it all the time, check to make sure their tongue is not cracked or swollen. this is called Hanging tongue syndrome and can cause them considerable pain. It’s similar to we humans getting a painful case of chapped lips.

The following photos are of adorable Chihuahuas with their tongues out. I hope they bring a smile to your face as they have to me!
