I picked up this little mood-telling sticker in Tokyo, and I tested it out on my minpin Ruby. The three different colors on the sticker indicate relaxation, stress, and extreme stress. Ruby, it turns out, is very relaxed. Whew.

Very relaxed? What kind of a dog wouldn't be "relaxed" after a bottle of red.
You are soo cheap, trying to hide the bottle behind his pawn. Like we wouldn't notice it.
Poor Ruby, his glassy eyes tells it all.
Is that a syringe that can be spotted bottom most left on the table?
:)
Seriously, I think the stress sticker would work much better if it had been applied in the inner ear.

That is amusing considering how a recent article in the NY Times was going on about prescribing drugs for dogs.
I think my dog would rather have a back rub than a pill and I suspect that yours is an addict to them as well.

I think that the blue-green color of the sticker is sign of that Ruby want some cosplay. If you study his iris closely it looks like he most likely want to be Tony Tony Chopper.
You better get some blue body paint for his nose and a red hat to him. Well not to forget the blue backpack.
