I forgot to mention that Cary took Runa and I took Angie for a walk along the trails in the woods on Sunday. I didn't take the camera, so no pictures. Runa has been on these walks many times, and we knew she'd be fine. Angie is from another part of the country, so I'm sure the fallen leaves, the logs, the whole "woods" experience was somewhat new to her. She seemed maybe slightly wary, but curious and ready to get out and see the world. She wanted to stop and smell everything - leaves on the ground, tree stumps, branches on the ground, but she was fine. She ate a cookie off the "trail monster" - the old metal silo that is on its side along the trail. She walked along at a steady pace, casually looking around, taking in the sights, only stopping when she wanted to check out something that caught her attention. On our way out, we walked past the fenced back yard with the charging (but not dangerous!) sand barking pug, Jack Russell and two setters, and she didn't care. On to the obstacle course, where she walked over the bridge and under the shredded tarp without hesitating. She also walked over the cavaletti as if they were nothing, and between two upright barrels that are about three feet apart.
I think it's safe to say that Angie isn't "stuff-spooky." She also has a good, healthy curiosity about the world. I like that. Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.5.516 / Virus Database: 269.17.13/1213 - Release Date: 1/7/2008 9:14 AM
