Shyla and I had tons of fun playing games with treats this week because she couldn't run much. She gets so intense about snagging them out of the air that she makes silly faces! She also moves so fast that she sometimes is too fast for my shutter.
Although I tend to show you the bloopers when she misses, she's become quite good at this game. She keeps her eyes on the treat.
And knows when to open her mouth to snag it.
Here's the anatomy of a flawless snarf. She had her eyes on the treat before it was even close to her.
Then, she opened her mouth so wide that I can't imagine that she could still see the treat.
Finally, she snarfed it. She moved her jaws and head so fast and hard that her head looked oddly flattened after she had the treat in her mouth.
Way to go, Shyla!

ReplyDeleteWhat beautifurs shots these are - I LOLd at the first 'anatomy' shot! I am a bit in awe of your ability to record each moment like this... YAM xx
pee ess - sending heaps of POTP your way for darling R...
DeleteThank you. A big day is approaching on Monday when our regular vet will re-ultrasound his adrenal tumor. If it's grown in this relatively short time, it will be bad news. We are trying to focus on the positive, which is that R is feeling very good right now!
DeleteYour girl has skills!

It's a wonder they even taste treats when they are that intent on getting them. 🤣
