<DIV>Many times I have written how well behaved my Millie is, well last week she
was not. That weekend was lovely and a lot of people were having picnics
in the park by us. Well the following morning when I took her out for her
morning walk, we went to the park. Well she must have remembered that
there were a lot of people there as she wanted to walk in the park, something
unusual for her. She has become a pee and poop and head for home girl, so
wanting to walk is rare. Well she started to walk on the grass and she was
having such a grand time sniffing for goodies that I could not get her to
move much al all. I did not want her to get something that would get her
sick. Well, she had different ideas. She found several good places
to remain at and I could not get her to move. With her arthritis and back
problems I could not just drag her, so I had to resort to calling and
asking and begging her to come. I admit that I did
raise my voice quite a bit, but that was not real successful either. Park
goers must have thought I was a just rotten dog owner, but such is
life. Eventually with a combo of pulls and loud, upset words she
would move, but only to the next tree or bench. Once she
even did the lay down basset routine. Finally after about 30 minutes we
were able to finish our walk home, Millie feeling quite pleased with
herself. </DIV>
