kliuless that Exceptionalism article is excellent . The pictures in the OP remind me of this controversial Wildlife Photography winner an amazing shot of a wolf jumping a fence.

Generic Flying Ring Toys are quite motivational for some dogs. My wife’s dog, Nasty Barkington, crouches by the back door when I get home, eying me warily. This, in spite of the fact that it might be below zero and we haven’t thrown the frisbee for three months. She’s still going to be ready if shit gets real.

Those are some technically impressive snaps. I got tired of the jumping-at-you pose but the great variety of the leap-from-the-side ones is great. A terrific post.

On the one hand, sure, our screen time has gone way up. But in the last ten years, doggoes have really upped their game.

Not bad, but no caracal.
