    I had never heard the term "fun police," but you made sense of it and how to counteract it. https://discover.hubpages.com/animals/D … olice-Role

      Hi Peggy, thanks for sharing! It's not a very popular term, but it fit very well my female Rottweiler's behavior when she would watch other dogs play with a very serious look on her face. She would literally get wrinkles on her forehead as soon as things started to get a little "too wild" for her taste. I had to hold her back initially as she wanted to take off and "go moderate the play," so to say. Great memories!

        I enjoyed it too! When my ACD starts wrestling with my Lab my senior Pitbull gets upset and acts the role of fun police. As you mentioned, she does not even care if it is dogs she does not know.
        She gets that serious look with wrinkles too!

          That serious, wrinkled-forehead look is so expressive! I can imagine your Pitbull displaying it. Makes one wonder what they would be saying if they could talk.  We used to joke around and say that our Rottweiler was getting ready to raise her "yellow penalty card" as soon as she felt things were getting too exuberant or sensed that trouble was brewing.

            Sorry to hear about your Rotties passing (read your comment on another post). My oldest Pitbull is 12 now so I know it is inevitable but am doing my best to postpone the day. She still likes to swim when I take her to the river but will not jump in the pool anymore.
            At this point she can raise her yellow card as often as she wants and I do not "boo" her!

              Yeah, lost them both a while back, but at decent ages (almost 11 my female and almost 12 my male). It was tough, but we do all we can. Your Pitbull is in great hands, enjoy every moment. Every day is a gift!
