Joshua, Kima and I picked up Johanna this weekend, meeting up with Ian and Lucy and their springer spaniel, Buster at the Meadow (Jerusalem Mills). I used to take Kima here on a long line, before she was trained, so she could run around in a large open area, easily kept away from other dogs. In the fall we did a couple hikes with the E-collar that she did well on, and since it was so beautiful on Sunday, and she needs more dog-time, we went up. Buster is a marvelous doggy dog, rolling around in the grass every chance he gets, and kept engaged through Lucy's fun training classes (he's now learned to put away all his toys into a basket). He has problems greeting other dogs nicely while on leash, so we decided to go for a hike all together, staying at least 4 feet away.
Both dogs did great - Kima did not once growl or misbehave, though she kept one eye on Buster at all times. Buster in turn ignored her completely, as he does with most girl dogs. Everyone was very pleased with the hike - and with the doggies!
We brought the camera but once again forgot to take any pics until the very end, so this is all you get.
