FRIDAY NIGHT DOG BLOG - THE HIGH GROUND

Intuitively I believe that dogs, as with humans, have a preference for high ground so they can see more of what is happening. Whether this is true, it gives me the advantage to be able to spot approaching people or animals. Otherwise I am dependent on hearing.

Other than when I have to descend steep inclines, the dogs are usually leading. I understand from watching clips of the Dog Whispher, Cesar Milan, this is not the right thing to do. I feel I am restricting them enough by keeping them on their leads. (Special thanks to Mickey's Musings for the reference.)

This week I have taken extra trouble to enable these photos to be enlarged by clicking onto them. There is a small surprise with a swop in photos. Needless to observe, I hope it works.

As usual we will seek to board Modulator's Friday Ark#112 and join up with the Carnival of the Dogs at Mickey's Musings.
