First Walkie

It's very important for me (and should be for all dog owners) that Annie walk well on a leash. I've been working with her all week in the backyard and this morning we went out for our first walkie around the block.  Annie had her first vet visit yesterday and he gave her the all clear to be out in the public.  Even I was amazed at how well she did.  No whining or pulling on the leash.  Only had to deal with a crazy squirrel that ran out in front of us and scared both us.  I'm really looking forward to her being able hike on some of the more remote trails with me, since I like to hike alone. Now that I can add long walks to her daily program, maybe I can get more than 4 hours of sleep.
