[Harbinger Nymph]
The same wind will blow in the sky-my heart!
the same rain will kiss my face, a winter sage,
it was an icy call that waved, embracial girth,
recalling of then, a love and a sorrow, adage.
Harbinger Nymph in sheer lace in airy waltz,
18 of blossoms, a night glade, in green hue,
You in clouds, smiling glaze, kind on my faults
and I repent, forever to open, my hands in blue.
So as the wind waves the foliage, you glow,
descending ether's staircase, young of wind,
in gray dusk light, a latent disposal, to endow,
Zephyr carries Autumn leave's wave, and lilt.
In this lonely joy, wishes travel in spatial sheer
a white foam of shore line, invites our feast,
we lived before years, when our young tears,
in astral domes ascended, to find vows in mist.
You ascended in skies, my airy Nymph, lithe,
Lissome to grace a smile for you, lonely, devoid
of missed away longing ways, my heart blithe,
will gaze for you, forever lovely and now void.

Do you remember those funny little dog toys
on a leash that as toddlers we would play and
walk with? In the shape of a Wiener Dog,
they had a full head and tail end
but the center of the body was like a large coiled
slinky toy so that when you would pull the leash
the dog appeared to be walking...
but actually it was the motion of the tail end
dragging behind
and then snapping back,
that pull and thrust that gave the illusion
and delight in that child's mind and eyes
his/her very first taste, or rather sense of what it's like
having and walking with it's very first puppy
for with that toy, they learn not to run too far ahead
too quickly because...
well because the dang thing's head could literally pop off
like a cork on a well shook champagne bottle!

My dog is starting to be rough when she plays-What could be the cause of this?
Ama
I'd first like to say that I am not exactly worried about this-because I can still control my dog and her behavior I'm just curious as to why she has started to be rough when playing. I think it might be because she is getting older and because her instincts might be getting stronger. But I'm not sure so I thought I'd ask here and get others opinions on it.
My dog is roughly 11 months old, she is not spayed yet-I plan on getting her spayed in a few months(due to personal reasons, but don't worry I'm a responsible dog owner and she is never outside alone or around unaltered males.) She is a mixed breed. What she is mixed with I have no clue, the top guess(from her veterinarian and other people that randomly see her) is a Labrador/Border Collie mix. Here's a picture of her; http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/125/d/d/yay_sun_by_piratekit-d3fnqvr.jpg
Basically now when she plays she is rough; when my mother's dog(a shih-tzu) comes over she tries to wrestle with her. She has started wrapping her paw around people's legs when they walk/go up or down stairs. She also has begun to swing her toys around when playing with them. Along with this when my mother's dog is over my dog will randomly snap at the dog's face(not actually make contact, but about an inch away) she doesn't always does this and usually they start playing afterword but this was the first new behavior she showed before the others when playing. Like I said I think it might just be because her instincts are getting stronger but not sure so I thought I'd ask here.
Also-My dog is well exercised, both physically and mentally. We play different mentally stimulating games through out the day and she is taken on two hour long walks daily and she also has an hour of high activity play time mid-day.
My apologies about the length of this question, I tend to get carried away when typing ^^;
@Lilan- thank you for answering, as I said I'm not really worried about it. Just curious as to why she has started to play roughly.
@Nicole- Thanks for your input. I correct her when she plays roughly and when she wraps her paw around people's legs. She doesn't do it often, but when she does I do make sure to correct her on it. The most common behavior(or action) that she displays is swinging her toys quickly back and forth(which is why I thought that might just be instincts)

Hey - it's the border collie in her, she's a herding dog. You need another herding dog for a playmate because they play different, harder than regular dogs. The snapping is to control - make it move. When herding sheep, they will insensitively bite the ankles.
You should go visit this website to learn more: www.glenhighlandfarm.com
They can tell you more about the breed and have the most fantastic camp where you can put your dog on sheep to try it out and other Border Collie sports. It's all fenced in 178 acres all off leash, streams running through, rabbits and deer to chase, both you and your dog will have a ball. There is also a vacation get-away where you can rent a cabin, motor home or tents but the place is kept spotless, the showers are hot and clean and it's like top notch place. The people that run it is a Border Collie Rescue group, they have the rescues in a well heated barn. During the camp which is only is July they have seminars, sports and great food and entertainment for you, margarita parties in the woods, camp fires - just can't say enough
Anyway your dog is mostly Border Collie and the mental games are important for your dog, they need new games all the time to keep her from getting board, keep her mind active, these collies figure things out on their own too.
I had adopted my border collie from this rescue is how I learned all this. Best dog in the world.
So get another BC friend for her and the playing become accepted. My BC tried to play with other dogs and they wouldn't move so he kept jumping over them and they thought he was crazy.
Shepherds, aussies are also herding dogs.
The biting is when they are young, it comes from excitement too, when I was teaching my dog agility, he was so proud when he completed an apparatus that he would try to bite my wrist out of excitement, I would replace my wrist with a toy and he got it quickly. Anything you teach them they pick up on fast so, if when playing you don't want her to do something, give a correction but remember it's normal for her breed to play this way. You will notice that if she is snapping at the face and you start to run or who ever she is snapping at runs, she is satisfied because she got the result she wanted. You need to watch that if she doesn't have the ability to do what she needs to do (herd and play herding games) she make get over a fence and start chasing bicycles or cars. You need to watch around toddlers too. Anything small or smaller than her will be something she will look to move.
