appease
Young Taji used to, and still does given the chance,
bounce on the end of her chain when we are sighted.
She has a hole around where she bounces
which fills with water and she is wearing away
the post to which her chain is attached.
After much discussion and pracrice this is Taji’s pose.
This does not mean she hasn’t tried ‘the bounce’.
It means she knows to appease us she has to
sit quietly and wait until she is lt off.
Then, with much effort, she has to wait until
she is released to come out of her kennel.
