Ready For Mischief

Barley, a dog, sits at attention with an expectant look.

If you, dear reader, have been following along with these posts for any length of time, you know that this is not a Barley At Rest. This is a vision of a Barley with a large amount of potential energy, a wound spring ready to leap into action. She doesn’t have an objective yet: I’m not holding a treat (or else she would be fully focused, wide-eyed and close-mouthed) or a toy she wants to play (or else she would be on her feet). Despite this, she’s clearly ready for whatever comes next, and she’s pretty sure it’s going to be good.
