Still too warm for hookups, but Skinny has taken to running on a long lead off the ATV, sniffing all the great coyote /deer/raccoon/fox/turkey smells along the trails. He has a route that he follows twice a day. Sometimes he's joined by other dogs running along. (Skinny's penchant for running off has his free runs limited.) It gives him great exercise, is easy on his hindquarters and he reminds the critters, with great enthusiasm, that he's still the main guy around here.
The coyote sometimes leaves 'gifts' at various trail crossings along the route and Skinny reciprocates.
Martin is not quite so interested in running this way, and he gets too warm in this weather, so he comes out on a long lead without the ATV (since he is the main guy, too ). 71 degrees at 7PM yesterday.
