I picked up my brother Joe on Sunday and Shadow was somewhat familiar with him. Joe is a cat person and probably had residual cat smells on him. Plus Joe is a smoker and Shadow isn't up to speed on that human habit. Today I drove through a torrential rain storm to get Sally and Kathy, my sisters at the Tampa Airport. Shadow stayed home to guard the fort while i was away.
Sally has a Chocolate Lab, Ruby, at home and that smell interested my dog.
The gang is all gathering to hold a celebration of life for our recently departed Mom.
I took Shadow over to the UU Retreat in the Pines in the woods near Brooksville, today and after we finished the video projector test, I let Shadow loose to run on the grounds. It is far enough off the highway so I felt he could get some running in. He had a ball. No leash or constraint was on him and he ran here and there at will. I love to see my dog run free. About the only time he is completely unfettered is at the beach or the dog park. Today was a treat for him. When it was time to leave, I called him over and he ran at full tilt and submitted to a leash for the walk back to the car. I was glad I didn't have to chase him, he is fleet of foot.
