A = Anticipation

According to Dictionary.com  Anticipation is the act of anticipating. Realization in advance; foretaste. Expectation or hope. Intuition, foreknowledge, or prescience.
I love to watch my dogs play. I especially love this little behavior Sugar displays when she is playing with one of the other dogs.
Sugar
If the other dog stops to potty or goes to “base” (also known as the patio – where apparently she isn’t allowed to rough house – must be a dog rule) to take a break from wrestling and chasing, Sugar waits in great anticipation for play to resume.

Do dogs anticipate? I would suggest watching Sugar “anticipate” the return of her playmate…the definition describes her behavior perfectly.
Sugar
She stares, she waits, she anticipates a future of fun…..Then one of her playmates takes one step off base and all bets are off…..Sugar is ready to play. She has waited long enough!

365 Days of Photos – Day 80

We lost our little Maggye this morning. Tina has been Maggye’s person since she was a puppy. We lovingly called Maggye our little old lady.

She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure a few years ago..but with medication she managed to remain active to the very end.

Early this morning she died un-expectantly.

She will be greatly missed.

365 Days of Photos – Day 69

Does this puppy look guilty?

I will not chase little bunnies.

I will not chase little bunnies.

She is guilty! She caught a baby bunny this morning….and apparently thought bringing it into the kitchen would make her moms proud? Happy?

Well it didn’t! She got chewed out…her response was to lay her head on Tina’s bag and put on her

“I am so sorry Mom” face.

“I will never chase little bunnies again.”

“I just wanted to show you what I found….I didn’t mean to break him.”

Do you think we could stay upset with her? Of course not!
