i have a bodyguard

today, i took luna to the dog park for the first time in a while. when we got there, there wasn’t many dogs there but after about 45 minutes some dogs finally showed up. a couple of them were poodles and the white one has a problem with jumping and an owner that seemed aloof about it. luna was standing near me and that white poodle walked over and jumped at me and i pushed it down and said “no”. a few minutes later the same scenario happened except i was not the one to give the “no” command. luna was. luna immediately growled and snarled and lunged at that white poodle. from that point on if dogs came next to me, luna was on duty. if you’re another dog standing next to me, beware of dog. there’s a couple of pics below. beyond that, luna is about 5 years old now and she’s begun tipping the scale. i changed her food not long ago and will be changing it again. they also want her to have large breed formula to help support her joints more. other than that, pretty healthy for a dog that’s had a heart murmur her whole life so far, and survived the cocktail of viruses. for the first time ever i was told she probably ate rocks before which is why her teeth are ground/broken. i guess that’s why she looked like she’d been fed when i adopted her!
