There is nothing new here.

There is nothing new here. Anyone who's ever had a dog understands that dogs read body language intuitively. A person or family with a dog has to be acutely aware of their body movements or they risk confusing the dog.

It's also why dogs love people like me and are aggressive about people whose posture they can't read.

I've never met a dog that didn't love me because I projected love and confidence to them. I think that's generally why many dogs are wary of children, because children rarely project confidence or move with conviction when confronted with a dog or other animals.

I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
