Monday Mischief

In a race, R has learned to use his wisdom to beat Shyla. He immediately cuts in front of her, and then blocks her from coming by. Despite Shyla's faster top speed, his technique works very frequently! You can see it in this photo.
Shyla's big brother still knows some tricks that she doesn't know!

    Ah Yes,

    Soon enough she will learn this trick and be blocking him in return.
    Let's see who gets there first then. Shyla is smart enough to
    figure it out.

    It's fun to watch the competition, I bet you were laughing....
    Have a FUN DAY.

    My Jake also had a very subtle almost imperceptible swivel of his hip that kept his brother, Just Harry, in line. Gotta' love those street smarts!!!

    I bet she figures it out though. She's too smart to be out dine like that.

    I don't like to see Shyla getting the best of R., but can certainly see it coming. Maybe he will come up with some new tricks, too!

    Cheers,

    Ha! Clever boyo!
    One of my Irish Wolfhounds would pretend to see something out the window, so the younger one would come over to see what was so interesting.
    Thus leaving the big dog bed free...but not for long!

    You sure are a smart boy R. When I'm chasing my brother I like to hang back and then cut off his route to catch up to him.
