A stick is all you need

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!

Maybe an evolutionary teeth cleaning and sharpening technique? I can't think of any other animal that does it, except humans certain regions of Africa. ;-b
Thank you, Andy!

Seems logical!

Excellent!

Many thanks, Doug!

I prefer a carrot.

Same here. Sticks never soften enough no matter how long you steam them.

What about sticks of rhubarb? Still sticks but your dog might nor welcome the change!
And they steam well!

I would steal them for pie, though.

interesting and unusual composition, Diane - well done!

Grazie mille, Gabi!

What a huuuuuuge and dangerous looking shadow :))))
I like the triple...makes it exciting!
