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.
