The last time I attempted running with our dog Belle, she kept crashing into the running stroller, running wildly in front of me (and the stroller), and tangling her leash in the wheels. In other times when I tried without the stroller, she would lose interest after about 30 seconds and then just sniff things. Not a running dog, apparently. This morning, however, when L took the leash and went running down the street, and back to the house, and back down the street, and back again, etc., Belle was the most amazing running partner for her. She stayed on one side of her at all times, kept slack in the leash, stayed the same speed as L instead of pulling her along, and ran. No stopping to smell the roses, no tugging to get away, no running to me for help - she just ran with L. Nice.
I guess L has a running dog now. When do I get my running dog?!? Oh yeah, I guess around Labor Day...sigh...*no patience*
