Aussie Reserve

In describing the characteristics of Australian Shepherds, the word most frequently used is "reserved". Paris is showing her reserve here, though she enjoyed having a tummy rub a couple of minutes earlier. She's more comfortable with women than men, but I'm making headway with her by judicious use of tasty treats and a restrained approach.

No, we're not getting another dog. Cynthia and I were just checking in on Paris while her people were away. They used to do the same for Annie when we were gone just for a day.

I did get a more relaxed photo later.
