[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 68835, member: 337"] I get the sense that Patsy kicks snake ass whether the owners are there or not. They can't always be there with a shovel - so they let her keep her technique honed. Obviously not Patsy's first rodeo - so I think they just enjoy the fact that the dog's got the skills/drive/technique and just let er buck. I applaud their non-helicopter attitude. Galwhofishes would not dig it but I would be tempted to let my "working dog" do her thing like they do. I get the feeling their culture has not yet been as wussified as ours - my own life included. I often find myself feeling wistful that "safety first" has become so prominent in my life. There's something to be said about living with a little raw danger here/there IMO. Outlawing certain fireworks, forcing seatbelt usage, yada - they all make sense - but they also suck a little bit of life's juiciness out too. Hard to explain - maybe you had to have grown up in a time before we became safety/caution worshipers. [/QUOTE]
