Dogs (not the UGA ones)

I was in a wedding this past weekend. The rehearsal dinner was outside under a tent at the groom's parent's house. They have a big dog (think 125 lbs) that got out of its pen and darted toward the food table like a scene from a movie. Luckily they got him under control before any damage was done.

Earlier in the day, while we were doing some set-up work, the groom had his dog tied to a tree across the yard. The entire time we were working both dogs were barking feverishly at each other.

Yesterday we were at the family cabin and several of Amy's relatives had their dogs with them. I spent a few minutes sipping on a Sam Adams and watching them. It was interesting how all four of them would go from bush to tree to log and so on peeing one right after the other...marking their territory. You'd think the first guy would notice that the second one came right behind him and trumped his mark.

I don't know if I really have a point except that we homo sapiens are not all that much different than the canine whateverous. They're territorial...so are we. After being caged up for a short while, they'll dart for the food table when given a chance. You get the point.
