A big highlight of my stay with the Peter Family pack is our daily walks.
You just say the word "walk" around here and everyone goes crazy!
The packs energy goes a bit over the top as soon as the leashes come out.
Well seriously folks.... We spend most of the day laying around the house...
So it's no wonder we get sooo excited about a WALK!!
Oh...I just had to write that in big letters because I get excited even thinking about it....
"O.K. Holly calm your self... Just got to talk myself down a bit"
Well I must say that I was in for a big surprise when I went for my first pack walk.
You see... It turns out that Felix is not the only one with issues! I know! I am totally shocked too... but it turns out that I have a few "walking issues"...
That's the funny thing about issues, you can only see the ones that other dogs and people have. So it turns out that I needed to be put on a short leash so that I can learn to "manage my personal freedom" because I was a little to out of control on the walks.
Walking on a short leash in a pack is a real adjustment, because when you have been used to getting your own way, you tend to pull the whole pack into the ditch with you while you are doing your own thing.... I wonder if Duane and Tamara have ever had to put anyone on a short leash in their people pack? I'll have to ask them when they get back.
I have included today a little video of me walking perfectly with my pack. I like to think of it as "synchronized walking" although it has not yet been recognized as an Olympic Sport... Have a great day.. Holly
