oh jeez he means business - why is the woman laughing?

I see C shaped mouth, agonistic pucker, whiskers forward, horizontal contraction of the mouth/jowls meaning carnassials not visible but canines are, hard eyes, ears slightly back, movement of body forward, front limb raised, tension through neck and back...no tail visible.

Not a happy camper.

Kai bear.


Aiden.

The funniest thing is Scorcher was not even pulling that face, she had been eating the ice cream next to her and licked her mouth which made her lips stick to her gums. (It happens at least 2ce a day).

Aiden and Kai both play fight pictures.

And check this out......


You would think I was running some dog fighting club..not my two silly moo's play fighting in the garden.

i would not expect a bite from photo #1 - it's a warning, but i could defuse the tension by backing-up.
#2 photo, OTOH, would scare the #&*%$! out of me. Hard, hard stare; facial tension,
whisker-bed puckered, ears fwd, commissure fwd.

she needs a drink?...
