sky corrupted

It has often been said that power corrupts. I have seen this at first hand.


Sky, once a cute, harmless, cuddly puppy, has gradually grown to become more daring. We started to realise that perhaps we might have a criminal in our midst when underwear mysteriously disappeared, only to reappear again several days later, partly digested.


She has now become fully grown, and begins to try to exert dominance over Pippa. You can see her mind at work.


Here is Pippa at play, doing her favourite thing in life; chasing sticks…





Whilst Pippa searches for her latest toy, hurled into the deep snow, Sky stands and watches. You can see her brain ticking.





Pippa runs with her prize, full of pride.





Sky chases the next throw and stands over the stick, exuding threat. The two are in balance, who will be the first to move?





As a show of her new found dominance, Sky waits for Pippa to back down, then runs off with Pippa’s most prized possession. Pippa, enraged, gives chase. This, my favourite picture of the two dogs:








Sky stands alone, conqueror and thief, with her newly stolen and unwanted prize. Power.





Aren’t we so much like dogs?

hmmm…. I can feel a movie coming on…
