Descending LDR-A arroyo
|
On the morning drive to the trailhead we encountered a woman walking her Border Collie at the corner of Tobosa and Noche Bella Loop. Willow: barking, snarling, jumping on the back window like a caged tiger.
Just as we started east on the east/west cross trail I spotted a small coyote close by before either Heeler did. Frio sees the canid, barks once, pulls on the lead. Willow goes bonkers, barking, snarling, growling, straining at the lead. She left her feet twice, even falling down once, but still popped up agitating to get at the coyote. It was all I could do to hold her back, she being one of the strongest small Heelers I've ever seen. Really discouraged by her actions this morning.
The rest of the trek went OK, but the outing was tainted by Ms. Willow's bad behavior

Nice photo of the Heelers, including the misbehaving Ms. Willow.
