Ah, another great activity day. Got in over 6 miles of hiking and walking. And my darlin' dog Val, SHE almost caught herself a deer today! I know, almost everyone says how fast their dog is...but this dog is something ELSE! Two deer broke from cover and crossed the trail at a full run at least 300 feet in front of us. Val took off after the second one. By the time they jumped the barbed wire fence maybe 300-400 feet away, Val almost had the trailing deer. If it hadn't been for that fence...which the deer easily cleared, and which Val ran directly into, yiped, scrambled through and then again began to give chase...well, I believe that deer would have been dog food. She didn't catch them, and she did return to me...8 minutes later, but she did come back without me needing to shimmy through the barbed wire, trek through the palmetto and chance getting lost in the wetlands. Someone had mentioned getting a dog whistle...I've never trained a dog to come to one of those, but I think Val is a prime candidate for the training, as my whistles are very weak and don't travel far, sound-wise! ROFL
And when I got home, I took Dink out for a walk down to visit with his favorite barnyard animals. 2 donkeys, 2 zebus, 2 tiny mini ponies and 5 sheep. He absolutely loves those animals, and they appear to feel the same...they run to the fence when they see him coming, sniff him through the rails, and let him lick their noses. lol It's really cute. Me? They put up with me petting them or scratching their forlocks...but him? They love him! Now Val on the other hand...they tried to be friendly with her and she tried to nip one of the ponies noses...so I don't allow her close contact with them. lol
Hoping that all the walking/hiking today will help keep the pounds melting. WI is Friday, and I really REALLY want to see another down turn on my chart. :) I've been bad for the past 5 months...and nothing makes you wanna stay good like seeing results! Doesn't have to be a huge loss, just a few ounces is enough for me to think "gee, I'm doing something right, this is WORKING!".
Wishing everyone a wonderful OP Wednesday night, and I'll talk at y'all again tomorrow! :)
