Bad Willow

Just getting started

Unfortunately, Willow pretty much took the luster off this morning's hike by spooking a fawn and chasing the poor thing for a ways; I could hear the deer squealing in fear.  Worse yet, Willow did not listen when I called her off.  This is the second year in a row that she's pursued a fawn.  Willow will be hiking on lead in the foreseeable future.

Not going that way
