Cyprus, When Agitated

Thanks to a thrift-store find of a Brain Surgery "Operation" game toy, I have learned that Cyprus gets a very red streak of fur from her neck to her tail, when she is highly agitated or preparing to go postal.

In a dog's natural way, I suppose, she is much more accustomed to looking down and low, rather than peering up at things. So it took a while to notice the goofy plastic head for this game, sitting up on the mantle in the master bedroom. Once she saw it, though, she was ready for battle.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a great shot showing her fur color contrast, once that ridge of it stands on end. She was showing it again over the weekend, when she had a chance to be around the small yappy pups of some good friends.
