Juniper Friday! A Day At The Lake

Juniper, a dog, wades out into the waters of a lake to give a golden lab a piece of her mind. Barley, another dog, happily observes from the shore.

Back when Barley & Juniper were a dynamic duo, we did what we could to try to make sure they were getting properly socialized, so we took them to various dog parks. Pretty early on, however, Juniper’s nervous energy began to get the better of her, a preview of the wary homebody she has since become. One dog owner during that time jokingly referred to her as “the fun police,” because she was only calm when all the dogs were standing or sitting around, and she would get agitated if anyone provoked any horseplay. Immediately prior to this photo, she got very out of shape when this golden lab decided to paddle out a ways into the water, and waded out about this far to bark until the situation had been remedied. Barley seemed amused by the whole situation, never making a peep.
