Grand View Dustup

1st 3:  views of the Sacramentos from our road

Not long after we started off on the Grand View Trail this morning we encountered a woman and her dog headed our way.  Her pup looked to be a cross between a heeler and a pit bull.  It was highly over reactive.

Pit bull/heeler cross meet highly over reactive Willow.  Both dogs were lunging at each other.  I pulled Willow away, bent down and muzzled her with my right hand until the woman and her dog had passed.

Later, after we turned around and started back, we heard people heading our way.  We had to hurry in the opposite direction in case they had a dog, which they did.  I took Willow far off the trail to wait for the man and woman to pass.  Dr. K explained to them that I was waiting off trail with our miscreant dog.

Needless to say Willow severely ruined our outing today.
