At the park today somebody described Autumn as matriarch of the park. She was playing with a group of dogs and a lab came up with hackles raised. She barked and told him off and he had to stay alone until he behaved. She's always been a referee that barks when dogs get too rough but never actually gave one a time out before. It was so funny. She definately illustrates the difference between dominance and aggression because she keeps everybody in control with nothing but a bark. The matriarch at 5.5 years old. It reminds me that she's not a puppy anymore which is what I like to think.

That struck me as very funny. Good girl, Autumn. You keep those doggies under control. As I have always told my dogs, bad manners will not be tolerated.
