My guys are quietly ecstatic when I get home from work, take them to the beach, bring them home a second hand stuffie from the Op Shop, get the clicker out. Having bigger dogs I try and keep things low key. Then there is chasing bunnies. That makes them off the Richter Scale ecstatic 🙂

Luke is ecstatic when he gets to play ball.
Daisy is ecstatic when sgets to chase squirrells or rabbits.
Trooper is ecstatic when he gets to dig.

I think about everything makes Cookie happy. Some things make her happier than others, such as walks or play or dinners or treats or training sessions or helping in the kitchen … you get the picture.

What a great smile at the end! The boys are always happy. Well, except when they realize they are going to get a bath. 🙂

Happy? For Sydney it’s food, for Rodrigo it’s going for a walk.

Ecstatic? For Sydney it’s an opportunity to play fetch, or her version of fetch. For Rodrigo, it’s when there’s a cyclist on the trail that borders our property.

If only my mother-in-law were so easy to impress… Maybe I should try liverwurst.

It was a huge lightbulb for me when I realized that Silas isn’t just *happy* to work, he is, to use your phrase, *ecstatic.* My challenge is finding something for him to do in a place he feels safe enough to do it, but even just heeling around the living room fills him with joy.

You’ve managed to cover everything that makes my dogs happy/ecstatic. What makes me happy/ecstatic is seeing how easily I can make them happy/ecstatic.

It sounds like your Honey and our Alfie have a whole lot in common including their love for off leash time and playing! Alfie recently had an accident with a stick and we had to keep him on the leash for a while and although he was feeling better physically, we could tell he was getting really depressed about his walks and he missed his toys. So we took him to his favourite place and let him sniff around off leash for a while and it worked miracles for his morale – goes to show that a happiness really is a good healer too 🙂
