Holly's Tara Guards Her Kibble
Holly wrote: "I don't like to set my dogs up to fail so I rarely allow her to get overfaced, but lots of people don't recognize the signs of an unhappy dog and would yell at her by the time she got to step 3. "

Holly added:
"People will often tell me that their dogs don't give any warnings. Unless the humans in the equation have suppressed the pre-cursors, warning signs listed above, the dogs DO give warnings. Warning is priceless. It lets you abort the chain that ends in violence and it allows the human to intervene on behalf of the stressed dog.
"I try really really hard to never suppress the warning signs. Many people tell me they want NO aggression shown by their dogs, but aggression is never eliminated. It's just that the dog will go from nothing to explosion quicker without all the in between steps.
"I repeat, I never ever ever want that. I want the opportunity to stop the behavior before it gets to the point of no return. It gives me the opportunity to protect both dogs, and it gives me a chance to teach the anxious dog she can count on me to take care of her."

Photographing Dogs
If you are trying to blur everything in the photo to convey how fast everything is moving to the viewer, then you should try a slower shutter speed. I panned with Red and he wasn't moving very quickly. My tip for for the day didn't work very well, but I like this photo anyway.Tech Notes:
Shutter Speed 1/8 sec
F-Stop f2.8
ISO 3200
Focal Length 70.0 mm

The Kidlet and Blue play tug
The kid annoys Blue. Note: She is wearing a white sock and a sock black by choice in honor of her zebra. "I have another pair just like these, too!" she said.
