furtechI wanted to take some pics of a pair of dogs that bore a striking resemblance to Bev and Steve's old set of dogs: Jazmine and Dru.
Jaz and Dru clones! (well, at least they’re close—and the female –is- a dobie/shep mix!
While I had the camera out, I snapped some pictures of the dogs doing their thing.
Here are some shots of Chloe and Pal, two Aussie Sheps. I *really* like Chloe: she's 14 and very sweet. She is in gentle decline-- what I had hoped Frieda would do when she got old. So I (with the owner's permission) sneak her two liver-snaps every time I see her at the park. Pal is her 8 year old buddy who taught Rondo his bad habit of barking in other dog's faces to encourage them to play (I'm still trying to break him of this tendency). Pal is a park "sheriff": a dog who barks at other dogs who get too rowdy or out of control. He keeps the peace by barking loudly (dog logic).
Chloe and her buddy, Pal (short for “Paladin”) [about 233K]
Rondo does something that Roz calls, "Flat dog," where he aims himself at his target, flattens himself out on the ground and waits to ambush his victim. Here Rondo is stalking his friend, Ghia-the-golden-retriever. I'm told it's some sheep-dog-thing, but it's pretty amusing. Especially when Rondo tries to look innocent.

Date: 2006-05-05 04:16 pm (UTC)Oh, that's such a fun time! Yeah, I've seen dogs that go up and bark in the other dogs' faces. It's interesting that it can be learned. HOPEFULLY unlearnable, too! XD
