Katie’s wound up like a spring. Still. We’ve been busy, a family wedding, me working many of the last few days. No walks in the park for her and she’s telling us that she DOESN’T LIKE IT! So this evening we headed back to the park. My intention was to work on heeling and sit/stays. But as soon as she was out of the car she was OFF exploring and I didn’t have the heart to make her practice. Which turned out to be a good decision because she wasn’t interested in the treats I brought anyway.
I call this one; a girl and her dog:

The mosquitos were out in force, so we tried to move along. My entire job on this walk was to manage the long leash, so that it didn’t wind itself around her feet. I wasn’t totally successful with that, as evidenced below:

We did a little bit of recalling, which she loves to do. At least the first time she loved it. Then she found out I didn’t have her special treats, and all bets were off.

We had a lot of fun, even with all the mosquitos. She wouldn’t go back to the car, so we sat and watched the pond for awhile. Funny thing, my whole family is happiest when we can see water. She must be related.

Silly girl.

Looks like a great walk. What is up with the mosquitos right now? They are driving me crazy!

Fun photos! Katie is such a sweetheart! Mosquitoes are REALLY bad here too – especially the black and white ones! They are getting in the house too every time we open the door. Worst year for mosquitoes that we can remember!

Hehe, my mom always said that “there is nothing wrong with being stubborn as long as it’s for the right things.” LOL

Heh, I hadn’t read your post with this title before I posted mine with the not much happening here title. Guess we’re all feeling a little on the relaxed side at the moment. I like “a girl and her dog”.
