A barking dog seldom bites
A silent one has propensity.
Watch out for the signs
Too quiet or too willing…
Both are signs not to be ignored.
Who are very quiet and a little too willing to let you have your way should never be taken lightly.
For there is always more than what meets the eye.

Timely Post Indeed Dear Savvy
in my Neighborhood at Least
As A Black Lab Who are Seen
As Friendly Escaped His Yard
Chasing An Elder Neighbor Down
Yes Knocking Him Down Biting Him in the
Side Sending Him to the Hospital And Another
One Similar Around the Block Was Let Loose and
Chased my Sister Her Friend my Wife and Her Friend
too All in Separate Occasions Doing Our Best to Accommodate
The Owners Negligence
As Dogs Quiet Or Loud
Will Be Fierce Protectors
of Those Who They Do Protect
Anyway as You Say Beware of the Quiet Ones
The Barking One Behind His Fence Not Able to Jump
The Fence Yet His Much More Quiet Companion Jumped
The Fenced and Chased me Down Yet i Quietly Strolled Away
Acting Like He didn’t even exist it worked Yet i Had a Few Words
The Next Go Around With the Owner to Either get a Taller Fence or
Keep the Dog Inside and Do a Better Job of Not Letting the Other one
Out to Chase
the Neighbors Down
So Far So Good as i Used
Calm Logic in my Discussion with
the Neighbor as they already Realize
That the Negligence of the Other Neighbor
Led Directly to Animal Control Putting the Dog
Down and Ending His Life That Otherwise Didn’t
Have to happen
if the Owners took
the Gravity of the
Potentials More Serious
Most Everyone Says Our Dog is
Nice Yet the Key is that Dog is
Here to Protect the Owner not
Necessarily the Perceived Invader
Particularly When They are With Small
Children in the Yard in the Stance of Protecting
Them from
Any Perceived
Threat Coming
Close to the Territory they Protect…
Yeah and Far as Humans Go the Ones Who
Don’t Express Emotions and keep them All Bottled
Up Can and Will Be Effective ‘Time Bombs’ Given
Just the Situation That Sets them off Much More Comfortable
When Someone Wears
Their Heart on their
Sleeve to See if they
Have Adequate Command
of the Shadow Within We All
Have One Those Who Don’t believe
They Have one can be the Most Dangerous
of all Both to themselves and of Course others too…
Hehe i Let my Beast Out at the Military Gym and while
Most Folks Do Really Say i’m one of the Kindest People They’ve
Ever Met in Non-Verbal Language Outside the Military Gym Inside
That Place
When i Let that
Shadow Loose
Folks Have Suggested
i Make the Scariest Looking
Faces They’ve Ever Seen on a Human Being
True Where Light Exists The Same May Be True of Darker Potentials…
It’s All A Balance It’s All A Balance And Must Be A Lifelong Practice TO
KEEP THAT
BALANCE
NOW
With
SMiLes…
Hehe Other than that
if someone Tries to
Challenge my Kindness
It’s true i can ask them if they’ve
Ever ‘Danced With the Devil in the Pale Moonlight’
And At Least
Show them
What that
Other Face
Looks Like And Sounds Like
As It’s Available if Need be too…
Yet True i Have Ample control
Over my Potential Devil
With
SMiLes too..:)

Honestly my words were an analogy on the nuances of human behaviour.
An over eager person or a introverted reticent one both have stories to tell.
What is, may not be all. 🙏
