Signs of spring

Now that the ice has melted and the weather is warming up, we're seeing more dogs on our walks, so constant vigilance is required. So far this weekend, we haven't had any big smackdowns. We encountered a pug and a larger dog yesterday in the underpass, which forced me to do a quick reverse and dodge around three runners. I mentioned that we were trying to avoid the other dogs and one of them said she has the same problem with her Dalmatian. Always good to know we're not the only owners whose dog needs to learn some manners.
There's something cult-like about border collie owners. I went to the Arlington Farmers Market yesterday and one of the vendors had a beautiful small BC named Pepper in his truck. He said he grew up with border collies and can't imagine having any other kind of dog.
