"Drop it!"
"I can't hear you."
About a month ago she discovered a dead deer in the woods by the edge of the ball field.
In spite of my efforts she has managed to sneak back to it a couple of times. Here she is
running with something in her mouth, which I later confirmed to be a piece of deer bone.
At the time this photo was taken I was yelling at her to "drop it". She knew full well
what I was getting at, and you can see from her expression that she knew that I had no
chance of catching up to her. She has never been punished for any of her behaviors - at
least not since we adopted her - and she sometimes takes advantage of that policy.
She's being naughty here, but on the whole she is a pretty well-behaved dog.
