Excellent shots Diane. Thank you for posting to FFF.

We can learn much from dogs. Patience, being more easily entertained by simple things. I like their ethic.

A sweet series, Diane.

So true! Thank you, Smiley.

A good triptych and makes me smile :))

Oh, good - thank you!

Formerly, I had a very clever dog , the first time I threw a stick i he brought it back to me. When I threw the stick a second time, my dog looked at me while he sat down. His gaze said clearly : since you obviously don't like this stick, there's really no reason to bring it back.
Tibetan mastiffs are dogs that don't put in unnecessary effort :-)

Hahaha! A well-know trait of many mastiff breeds, as well as others such as Akitas and Malamutes. The non-people-pleasing ones - after all, they are supposed to have real jobs! I am impressed that you had a Tibetan mastiff, Sylvain.

A good triptych and a happy dog.

Thank you, and yes she is!

SO MUCH HAPPINESS

ONCE AGAIN, YOU ARE CORRECT, PAM! ;-)

I really like the play with the shadows! She (or he) looks really dangerous in these! :-)

I often wonder just what a dog sees in a stick. But whatever it is I'm glad it does!

Excellent!

I prefer a carrot.
