Cooper (I know that’s his name because it’s on his name tag in the first picture) came out to greet us during another dog walk. As is common with this kind he was very curious. We have a cat (Gypsy) at home, but she’s very docile and refuses to fight with out dog, Jackson. Whenever he encounters another cat I have to be very careful. I think he believes that all cats are like Gypsy and doesn’t realize that some of them are mean and with sharp claws and teeth can be very dangerous – especially if they go for the eyes. So I was careful to keep him well away from Cooper.

I prefer the second picture, but unfortunately I missed the focus. This is all too common a story with me: if it moves I miss it. That’s why most of my pictures are of landscapes, buildings, objects etc. They don’t move around much.
