Juniper Friday! When Junnie Met Bars

Juniper, a dog, is rather overwhelmed by the overbearing affection of Barley, another dog.

This is Juniper the day she met Barley. If the vibe you’re getting from Juniper in this picture is, “Please, help!” then you’ve just about got the measure of it. Barley was bursting with energy after leaving the shelter, and came on a lot stronger than Juniper was comfortable with. Still a puppy and much less assertive than she is now, Juniper proceeded to run away from Barley for about three days. To her credit, Barley gradually picked up what Juniper was putting down, ramping down the enthusiasm of her approach until the two finally clicked on their fourth day together.
