Chilly not Cold

First 3:  Soaptree Yuccas

All you need to know about how this morning's hike went:  Willow leapt out of the CR-V when I opened the rear door and ran along the upper flatland dirt road toward Tellbrook Road, her nose glued to the ground on a scent.  She did not listen when I called her back, and a moment later she didn't listen again as she ran past me heading down LDR-A.

I had to get Frio out of our vehicle and walk in the direction Willow had gone before she came back.  I hooked her up to her lead and kept her on a very short length for the entire trek.  Boy was I pissed at her, and she knew it.  Whether that will change her behavior remains to be seen.
