Dogs managing people
We took a walk to a local sinkhole yesterday and when we got there,
there was a young couple with their dog. My 15 yr old daughter decided to swim and used the rope swing to swing waaaaay out and drop in the water. This drove the dogs crazy with concern and they stood on the bank barking at her to come back in. I found a stick and threw it out in the water for the dogs but they didn't want to venture into the deep water. My daughter swam out and got it a few times with the dogs barking and whimpering with concern. Finally, one of the dogs, a lab mix, was so concerned, she grabbed the stick and ran behind some bushes and hid the stick so my daughter would not have to swim out and get it again. It was touching and funny to see the dog so concerned and so determined to stop us silly humans from venturing into the water. |

I'll bet the dog was trying to hide the stick to keep it for herself...like a bone! |

At least the ones I hang out with do. Cat's own you. You own dogs. |
