I took this group out for a walk in the monte. We went across the land bridge, over the ridge and back over the alt. land bridge and the coco trail. Stella was on the leash the whole way but was really good about it; I was tempted to let her off but she's screwed me over too many times close to home. If she behaves herself on a run sometime soon maybe I'll let her off on a walk. They were all angels. The fellow who maintains that little corner lot where the dead goat trail ends was there today and the dogs behaved themselves perfectly; he even commented on how obedient they were being while we talked for a minute. It's blustery and cloudy and everyone was glad of it. This is the first time in a while that Osita hasn't gotten freaked out on a walk or run and bolted home; she was in a good mood and had fun with Rita. Perhaps she's over whatever made her paranoid.
