You were quite correct in your original estimation, @wolfpup - Luna is a very smart dog, able to learn from her mistakes. But she is also very affectionate and seems to be happy with her home and life. I’m sure if she had one wish, like all suburban dogs she wishes for something to do: rabbits to chase, dogs to bark at and play with, sheep to herd, something. Here’s a pic of Luna allowed, because of snowstorm, on my needs-to-be-cleaned Captains Chair: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50967304976_65ac448729_b.jpg "20210216\_140830") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/50967304976/) ---

Luna and I had a good day today. First we drove up to north of Boerne: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51038003172_028fd68da7_b.jpg "20210314\_114444") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51038003172/) Then went for a 2.5 mile walk, unleashed: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51037899881_9af571c1cc_b.jpg "20210314\_121113") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51037899881/) On the way home, stopped at The Point. The Point is a local bar which had the brilliant idea of blocking off part of their parking spaces with food trucks within easily stumbling distance of the open bar (on the right): [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51037173798_df84254eac_b.jpg "20210314\_134144") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51037173798/) Of course, we chose brisket: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51038002762_712e7e9aef_b.jpg "20210314\_132242") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51038002762/) It’s dog friendly, so Luna came along (one reason why I chose this for our return). She was nervous and never roamed far from me: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51037173743_8f2aa9f25a_b.jpg "20210314\_132420") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51037173743/) She didn’t beg at first, being content to lay there: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51037245418_db2a04ab54_b.jpg "2021-03-14\_08-45-15") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51037245418/) But an internal timer rang, reminding Luna it’s time for her to be treated: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51037247643_6c09ac2d28_b.jpg "2021-03-14\_08-45-58") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51037247643/) She would not be denied: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51037251828_c9ca3c764f_b.jpg "2021-03-14\_08-47-54") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51037251828/) Even more than Napoleon at the Moscow suburbs, Luna could just _smell_ victory: [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51037987626_ddcf07088f_b.jpg "2021-03-14\_08-51-11") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/68782016@N08/51037987626/) Repulsed! At the last second, repulsed!

Next time I want to see Luna doing the driving and her giving YOU treats! 😆 Seriously, y’all are lucky to have each other. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Seriously, y’all are lucky to have each other. Seconded! So true! @JohnT, among the elusively intriguing things about Luna is the contrast between her resemblance to a wolf (very clear in the third picture up from the bottom, where she’s just getting up on your lap) and her innocent childlike affection. That strange blend of wild canine heritage with being the indefatigable friend of man and his loyal companion is the very essence of Good Dog: like a child who never grows old, always there to love and be loved. Thanks for sharing the latest experience. ---

“Rich in dog”…I will remind myself of that next time I’m getting generally mashed and stepped on. 😄 Now that I’ve had Dobes, I don’t plan to be without one ever again. Future kitties, etc. will just have to find a way to get along. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Now that I’ve had Dobes, I don’t plan to be without one ever again. Isn’t it great to find your dog-breed match? I’ve been a fan of pit bulls for a very long time. Our current dog is a pit bull/boxer mix, and I can’t imagine a better match for us. We call her Gracie the wonder dog. I was surprised by her boxer qualities, and to find that I really like them. (Except the jumping and getting shoved with her front paws …). I’m not sure that’s what we’ll get next time, but that combo will definitely get my attention.
