2012 Lessons in Patience

#1: a run around the neighborhood with a bird-dog puppy.

Penny the wonder dogAs long as her head was up, she was fine. But once her instinct kicked in and her nose went down, there was little I could do to control her. She’s a hunter, a tracker, and a pointer, but most definitely not a heeler. Perhaps it was my funny shoes, but she didn’t seem to have any interest in hanging around me for long. We made one lap around the neighborhood in which time she managed to nearly kill me and herself about a dozen times. This is a post-run photo and you can tell she just wants to go out and do it all over again.
