Now that fall is finally here the weather has cooled considerably and Zorro couldn't be happier. One afternoon this week, he bolted to the back fence as soon as I let him out the door. He wants to run for miles.
Since we're out on the path longer, we're running into more dogs, which is a challenge. For the most part, he's showing self-restraint. Denny had an interesting stand-off one day this week. Normally, we put Zorro in a "sit" until the other dog passes, but on this occasion, the other dog's owner instructed his dog to do the same thing. As they were staring at each from opposite sides of the path, someone else walked his two dogs right between them. Zorro and the other dog abandoned their sit to bark at the interlopers.
Lots of drama at work so my nighttime walks with Zorro are restorative. But days are getting shorter, so will soon need to carry a flashlight. I was already unsettled one dark morning this week by a dog that seemed to come out of nowhere, causing Zorro to nearly pull me over.
