Dog Handling

[stormdog]

I just took Piper for her evening walk and paid conscious attention to how I handle her. Most of my dog-walking time these days is spent with a twelve-pound, half-blind dog who's scared of manhole covers and has been known to trip over curbs. I love her, but I think she's lulled me into sloppiness. Once I get further past the uncertainty and lack of confidence I'm feeling right now, it's something I can learn from. It may take a while before I believe I merit a chance to show that, but that's the way my brain is broken.
