#Olly my #Goldenretriever just flung his ball into my office. His version of an outraged tweet.
#attentionmanipulation.

(FYI, I also suspect that he's a believer in conspiracy theories, esp the one that posits that a higher power hides all of his toys under the couch).

At the dog park there's also a racist/classist Husky with a serious Karen complex, much to the dismay of her owner (who is the most lovely, caring person). She runs around policing (howling at) people who do not conform to her bigoted standards. Her owner put a blue stroboscopic collar on her, so that just makes her look even more like a gendarme.
Regulars at the dog park include, a paedophobic chihuahua, that my teenager uses to assess whether she is perceived as a teen or "almost an adult" (barking = still a teen), another Golden Retriever that we suspect is vegan because we saw him devouring apples, a sex-addicted castrated Setter-X, called "Nuts" (that one floors me every time he's busy with his addiction and his mistress calls his name).
Also, a beautiful Basset Bleu de Gascogne who has some form of pica disorder. He eats things that have no nutritional value, such as rocks. He has to wear a metal cage muzzle for his own safety. Sometimes he manages to sneak a stick through the grid, which makes him look like a smoking Coolidge dog.
@stephlamy I sense a grand metaphor floating in the air here, but I can't quite determine what it is / stands for.
@MichaelGentile Not really, just anthropomorphic observation and personal projections to keep me busy while I'm taking the dog out.
@stephlamy they better not have bothered Olly!

@miss__Tery #Olly is Olly. As a Golden Retriever, "fine" is the default setting.
@stephlamy must be so nice to be a pup!^_^
