This morning was so nice and sunny that Loki wasn't even in the mood to eat or drink, she just wanted to go outdoors. So after visiting the backyard (which she does every morning) and checking out the neighbor's dogs (who always bark up a storm while Loki playfully checks them out), we walked to the trail and then followed it for a good twenty five minutes. On the way back to the house we walked a street parallel to the trail to keep things interesting. It was windy, and Loki had a great time chasing blowing leaves everywhere. We also saw other dogs on our walk, of course, including one that looked like a Chesapeake Bay Retriever, but who the owner said was a Lab. And we saw the feisty Sharpei/Lab mix and his very mellow white Pit Bull brother. And then there was the girl/woman walking her large German Shepherd. Don't know if Loki will get that large. Guess time will tell.
