Bad Willow

Pale moon

Willow was very bad this morning.  While we were taking a break at our favorite yucca she suddenly jumped up, whined briefly and then chased a dog that had come up silently to our position.  Worst part of the whole situation:  Willow completely ignored me when I signaled for her to come back.  She pursued the other dog for over a hundred yards before listening to my commands to return.  The other dog--who seemed very friendly--may have belonged to a search and rescue party out practicing their craft.
