Courage 3/52

            "Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
  Harold Wilson (1916 - 1995)

Boone is a nervous dog. When I first got him he would crawl on his belly crossing the road, and would spook at sudden noises or people. It has been two years now and he really is a very normal dog in most cases- he competes in agility, he walks down the street with confidence, and mostly he is pretty okay going to new places. 

But there are times when his nerves get the best of him. 

I think for a dog like Boone courage is not so easy, and there is no doubt in my mind that he was nervous at this park- no amount of cookies, tennis balls, or tricks could make him loosen up. He tried very hard though, and didn't run for the car which is great. 

I wasn't going to post this photo- I hate seeing him scared, and I hate to have evidence of how nervous he can be. But as a friend told me today- he is who he is. I love this dog with all my heart- even if he is a Chicken. I will try my best to balance out the not so brave photos, with the happy, goofy dog that I know he is, so that you all can see the different sides of Boone.
