THE OTHER END OF THE LEASH
Welcome to an ongoing inquiry about the behavior of people and dogs. I would like this to be a forum for people who are both intellectually and emotionally fascinated by the behavior of the animals at both ends of the leash. My hope is that it will become a place for an informed and thoughtful consideration of the amazing relationship between people and dogs—my two favorite species.

To Pat: Thanks! Good grief, I knew that. What ever was I thinking? Me sure is stupid sometimes.
I hope everyone is getting a chance to enjoy some peace, love and reflection. We’ve had a heavenly couple of days. Jim is working on a jigsaw puzzle right now (give 2 Scorpios a jigsaw puzzle and back up), we’re about to take Willie and Sushi to their annual physical. Then a little work and some snow shoeing.
Movie suggestion: The King’s Speech. Best movie I’ve seen all year? Could be. At least, this week anyway.

Three o’clock in the morning and my dog needed to go outside. After the immediate need was met, she wondered aimlessly around the yard. As she moved into range of the porch light, I saw that she was catching snowflakes on her tongue. I caught a few myself before we came inside. Peace to all from Katy and me.
