This was an on-leash trail walk (good for practicing those leash skills that we sometimes let slide!). My mini-pack needs some more work in this regard, although they all seemed to get the idea of staying beside/behind me rather than in front of me by the end of the trail. Of course, that may just have been because they were exhausted by the long walk. ;-)
It was great to see Gerald and Marlee back with the group, with their new little Papillion puppy, Fonty, in tow. What a cutie! He was a little perturbed by all the new dogs, big and small, that came rushing over to greet him, and took refuge between Gerald's feet. But he soon got into a playful mood, once the pack's initial wave of canine enthusiasm at meeting a new dog was over.
The general consensus about this portion of the Lochside trail was that it was an excellent choice. We were basically casing it out as one of our winter options, when trail traffic of the 2-wheeled kind may be a bit less in volume. Thanks to Heather for the suggestion!

BLENKINSOP??? You must be joking! This is only the second time I've seen this word in print. The first was in a Tommy and Tuppence Agatha Christie, when Tuppence goes into a rooming house as a Mrs. Blenkinsop...(I'm not entirely sure I'm spelling this correctly now...)
My my my!
