I for one am a traditionalist and will be wearing my cotton jersey with the dominant blue colors. I am financially handicapped to afford these new jerseys.
My son, however, will be wearing his fleecy Roosters jumper and our dog will be sporting a new coat of red, white & blue paint. Non-toxic, just in case there are some animal rights activists out there.
Not being at all superstitious, I'll be sticking with the winning white. 8)
How'd you get the dog to stay still? I tried spray painting the kids but they weren't having a bar of it and once the attention turned to the cat, she chose the 140km/hr winds, driving rain and freezing temperatures outside as a better option. :-k
You see, Dogs unlike Cats have unwavering respect for its master.
Cats and felines for that matter are happy to prance around with air of arrogance around them. The first sign of trouble, however, they will always choose to run rather than stand their ground. It's their nature.
Now a Dog like all canines knows that once the pecking order is established and the Alpha male is declared, be it human or another animal like a Rooster, will allways fear and respect them. They tend to take a less dominant role in the presence of the Alpha male.
You will probably notice that the agression previously shown by the canine no longer exists once early dominance is established. After a period of say, 80 mins, they retire meekly into a corner of a dimly lit room sipping a beverage congregating amonst other defeated canines.
If you know what I mean. ;-)
