An unusual walk with Dixie

DIXIE GETTING CLOSE TO ME
Dixie had an unusual performance on our walk today. It was a relatively easy walk.

Dixie didn't pull very much on our way out, and she didn't hold back and force me to drag her back toward our house. She spent most of the time walking beside me or sniffing.

And a couple of times, I didn't feel any tension on the line, so I looked to see if she was still with me. She was. In fact, she usually was walking close to me. She only balked once, when she detected a cat in a neighbor's yard.

It was odd for a dog that's usually hard to walk; it WASN'T hard at all.

I fully expect her to go back to her old ways on our next walk.

P.S.: When we got home, my wife Holly had a mixture of kale and brown beans ready for me. Dixie begged for some, and Holly gave her a bit.

Dixie waited until it cooled a bit, then ate it right up. That was even more shocking than the walk. Dogs usually eat meat, not cheese.
