Now, I believe an 18 pointer is normally considered a "Monarch". However, I don't know if this applies to deer park deer, or only 'wild' Red deer. Happy to be educated.
Need a pointer? Something like a shopping guide for holiday season?
Happy holidays! It is getting close!

I love to come home after work and be greeted by this waggy-tail, spotty dog! He's super.
Oh, and I used my variable neutral density filter to help with the sunlight.

this entry is late...mostly because it's taken me a few days to get over the events of this past tuesday's training class.
as some of you already know, matea has fear issues with other dogs, stemming from 4 months of bad experiences at dog parks when she was 8-10 mos of age. add to that her breed - GWPs are bred for "sharpness", meaning if they perceive a threat they're going in, and matea is definitely the quintessential GWP - plus she's a female, and a wannabe alpha...even though with her own pack of at least five other dogs, she's a big pushover.
in class, cheryl - my new hero in dog training and behavior - sometimes has exercises in controlled chaos...dogs retrieving across each other's paths, toys flying everywhere, excitement amped up...all to create dogs who are more interested in working with/for their handler than be distracted by other dogs.
for matea, such exercises are brilliant as it boosts her confidence, showing her that she can work around other dogs and focus on the task at hand without perceiving a threat from every dog she encounters. and she's doing wonderfully. we'd not had a single incident with matea in almost 4 mos of classes, even if another dog accidentally bumps into her or gets into her face.
...until this past tuesday.
taz (an older jack russell...ironically sold to cheryl by another friend of mine who breeds JRTs and has a wirehaired pointer as well!) was in class. during a controlled-chaos exercise, matea was heading out - full steam - to retrieve her tennis ball for me...dogs everywhere, and go figure the ball should roll under taz, the JRT.
taz spun, facing off with matea, and matea had her head down, totally wanting to back away. this was my interpretation of her reaction, and it was confirmed by cheryl after class when we reviewed the event.
matea was actually making the decision to forget the ball, and more importantly, forget the JRT, deciding neither was worth it. if i'd called her back, i truly believe she would have come. but since cheryl's goal is to build this dog's confidence, i stuck to the task at hand: "fetch...fetch." then, apparently, taz made the first challenge/snap. at that point the GWP sharpness kicked in and matea was on her. you've never heard such screaming...cheryl assured me later that taz had been through WAY worse during flyball events, and that her reaction tends to be extreme screaming at just about anything.
with the screaming, the GWP prey-drive kicked in...probably 10 times that of any normal dog. being 50-feet away, i wasn't in the fray until it was over 5 seconds later. 5 seconds that felt like a bloody lifetime. matea was not giving up. BUT let me assure you there was no blood, no injuries, which i suppose i should derive confidence from, in that my dog does have bite inhibition.
i DO believe that had i been right there, the incident would have stopped before it began. however, i wasn't. and fortunately cheryl WAS. AND fortunately taz is one of cheryl's dogs (owned by a niece, i believe). AND fortunately, cheryl is cesar millan in a woman's form. she was calm and assertive, snatching matea's beard and twisting, then holding her by her lips for a good 4 seconds before switching to her happy-voice and saying: "okay! let's go play!"
for the next ten minutes cheryl had me send matea for retrieves with taz right there (held by cheryl), and in fact, growling at matea....a rottie was lunging at the other side of matea (a friendly rottie, but matea doesn't seem capable of discerning the difference), and other dogs at the receiving end. you could literally see matea work through her fears, her body cringing as she came close to the other dogs, yet following through with the task at hand with coaching from me. but it was clear that matea does NOT want confrontation...she was giving the growling JRT a wide berth after that, and not because she'd been reprimanded for fighting. there was really no reprimand.
still, seeing 68 lbs of solid muscle on a little 15 lb JRT is truly frightening. growing up i witnessed the swift death of a pug at the jaws of our one german shepherd...and i saw many fights between our shepherds. any kind of dog fight or scuffle has a major effect on me, even on tv, and i'm working to overcome that.
after class, with her arm around my shoulders, cheryl pointed to matea, lying 20' away on her own in a down even as the JRT was being led past her.... "that is not a bad dog," cheryl said. "if that was a bad dog, i'd be going home and digging a hole tonight."
Red laser pointer, Instax Wide format film. Odd how the laser at its brightest turns out blue. Anyway; how did I do this?
1. Put instax camera with film already in it, and laser pointer in lightproof changing bag having noticed how many shots you have left.
2. Zip up. Take off watch that glows in the dark!
3. Put arms in arm holes, locate camera and take out film pack.
4. Orient film pack correctly (sensitive area facing up).
5. Place laser pointer on film, switch on and guess-draw some sort of "interesting pattern".
6. Switch off laser pointer.
7. Replace film pack in camera.
8. Unzip and remove all articles from changing bag.
9. Switch on camera and press shutter to release/develop photo; the camera thinks the image is the darkslide that protects the film pack.
10. Marvel at the unreal colours.
11. Scan and post on Flickr for worldwide admiration.
I asked "an expert" why the red laser was turning up blue here and he said this:
"If I had to guess I'd speculate that this is what's going on. Film
emulsion contains three different sets of chemicals (possibly in
separate layers ?) which deal independently with the red, green and blue colours. The laser is monochromatic - it only emits red light - so you'd think that the blue and green processes would never get activated, and in general that's what we see. At very low intensities the red process works as we would expect and we get the nice red parts of the picture."
"At higher intensities we "burn out" the red process (the laser beam will be quite sharp-edged and the intensity where the black central line is could easily be hundreds of times higher than in the red surrounding region). Let's say ordinary low-intensity light turns chemical A into chemical B and it's chemical B which makes the red colour when it's developed. Too much red light turns B into some other chemical - say C, which doesn't develop to red. Or perhaps it produces an additional chemical (D) which somehow poisons the developing process. In any case we get burnout."
"The appearance of blue in some places will be something different again. It won't be the laser intensity which is varying (intensity is power per unit area and the laser power and beam size will be constant). The blue spots probably appeared where the artist stopped moving the laser beam for a few seconds. Holding a fixed intensity beam still will cause the local temperature of the emulsion to rise and it may be that it's the heating which is triggering the "blue" chemistry. Or, perhaps, there's some leaching of the copious amounts of chemical C (or D) from the heavily saturated red process into the blue layer ? But now I really am guessing."
"The one thing I can say is that there's unlikely to be any blue light involved. In principle it is possible to add two red photons together to make a blue one but this process (called "nonlinear optics") usually requires intensities many orders of magnitude higher than you can get from a hand-held laser."
