The Protocols of Humping

I've spent the better part of Spring and Summer redoing the lawn and now that it is done, the doggies have been all eagerness to try it out, and his is particularly so given the surprisingly cool weather. They quite clearly regard it as their playing field and late today it was their 'rastlin' matt. There was an evident sportshund protokol as well....

The contenders nose-to-nose

And the match is joined!

The Chief humps Rosco

The Champ takes Fips down to the matt

Chief slithers out and flips back on top

Pant...Pant...Pant...

Neither pup seemed to care much about winning. The object of the game seemed rather to change places. Perhaps we tail-less wonders could learn a thing or two.

By the way this is the only picture I have showing Rosco's perfect conformation.
