There’s a certain irony in Juniper being the dog who remained deep in college football country, while Barley came to a far-away land with a substantially smaller tailgate culture. No vision of hell could be more perfectly tailored to Juniper’s sensibilities than a long afternoon spent with loud, drunk, unfamiliar college football fans. Fortunately, should game day ever makes its way onto her home turf, she can make use of her even-homier-sub-turf, her shady crate. It is where she retreats to whenever things feel overwhelming, and where she brings her many toys to keep them safe, out of what one presumes is a powerful nurturing instinct.
