Here are fifteen slides of fun: investigating and testing yet another discovered novelty! Note the tentative approach with touching, poking, and at first, grabbing the tire only minimally by a torn tire tread, all the while with hackles up and ready to bolt if the need should arise.
This is serious business — getting to tame and know her environment — in this case a bike tire!! :)) The best way to see these slides is to click on the first one and then scroll through them.
-
- Carefully approaching and testing the new found object
-
- Touching the item
-
- Jumping back, “just in case”
-
- Bravery allows her to lift it by a tread
-
- Crouching down in anticipation of a reaction
-
- Jumping around the item excitedly
-
- Approaching puppy-play fashion
-
- Pouncing on it again to get it to react
-
- Lifting it again by a tiny edge
-
- Hacles are up as she dances around it
-
- Hackles are up
-
- Carefully dancing around it
-
- Finally grabbing the tire with her full mouth
-
- All teeth are on it now
-
- She now knows that tire and what it is capable of!

I love the expression on her face in the last slide! It’s like she’s saying, “That was a whole lot of fun!”

Yes, I think so, too!
