Sunday Afternoon Excitement

Today, after "church" we took Duncan for a walk to the plan d'eau. Last night on our walk we took him over there and because no one was around we let him off of his leash and ran around with him. Well, this afternoon it was a similar situation. Hardly anyone was outside - a few bikers, walkers, and a roller blader - so we tried it again. I was very impressed. Being off his leash he is actually more attentive to where we are to make sure that he doesn't get left behind. And he has to follow us, instead of us having to follow him because he's attached to us with the leash. As long as there aren't lots of dogs around I will continue to do this with him and hopefully it will work well for the both of us.

We also found a stick and Duncan actually chased it! Usually he only goes after sticks if we throw them into water and he can swim and get them, but this time he actually did it on land - amazing! One time he even got the stick and brought it back to us...one time. He seemed to be having lots of fun. He is a brief video I made. To those of you who know Duncan, I think you'll be impressed.



Duncan has also found a squirrel replacement, crows. He loves to chase them and we love to watch him do it.

While walking we also saw some baby ducks. They were very little, so much so that they were able to sit on the lilly pads like little frogs!
But their mommy didn't like Duncan hanging around (even though he wasn't paying attention to them) so we didn't stay long.

Hoping for nice weather this week... later!
