Bad dog

Today I Binky dug up cat poo from one of my seedling trays in the back yard and started playing with it. She carried it around in her mouth like a toy and ran around the yard. It must have been some sweet smelling shit for her to do that. Not surprising though - I think any animal can do that. When Binky was younger, I fed some cashew nuts and her digestive system was probably a bit undeveloped as most of it came out. The following morning, I saw her stool had bite marks on it. It look like some cat went through it. Anyway, I decided to give Binky a bath. Good timing anyway. It is her 3 month bday tomorrow. Here are her new photos. She's bigger now and her ears are more erect - again...hopefully it will be fully erect soon.


Ok this is one of her trademark poses...Blue Steel


And this one if the formal pose. Kinda like when she sits behind her desk.

Here is something that came out of "When pets go wild!"

No photoshop there. Took me a dozen tries to get this shot.

I'll tell you another Bad dog story. This Maori performer Richard Mitai-Ngatai headbutted a tourist just because the tourist was smirking while Richard was performing the wero (maori welcome). Being a tourism performer, this bad dog should be more sensitive to tourists' reactions. Not everyone know how to react in this situations and all he needed to do is advice this tourist how to behave. Obviously, like other domesticated pets, Richard still got a bit of the wild in him.

Personally, the Maori welcome when you enter the marae is actually quite scary. It doesn't look like a welcome at all. Is this due to the nature of being warriors or does it show some uncivilised trait? The haka for example shows some aggressive tendencies but it does look like a friendly challenge. The latest haka is a different story. It is too aggressive - any throat slitting gesture is normally seen as aggressive and worse if seen in a situation where the match is suppose to be friendly.
