walks

Walking Ziggy is a complicated thing.  Sometimes, it's great.  Sometimes, she's a huge pain in the ass - she pulls, lunges at every bird she sees, overreacts to people and other dogs. 

She loves walks, but she also loves helping me with the laundry and playing games. 

I like walking a dog.  But her behavior is better when not walked twice a day.  Usually.  I find. 

This morning she was all puppy energy - mischievous and happy, looking for trouble with a sense of humor.  Lord, I don't have enough energy for all that.  I have a big backyard and we play and that's often better for this reactive pup. 

I'm thinking of fostering a dog.  I just can't make the commitment to being a two-dog person, but Ziggy deserves social interaction and those poor pups deserve breaks from shelters.  We'll see.
