You know what is fast? Aoife let off the leash in the back of the property for the first time.
Aoife wins this round. The trail behind the house isn't the best of trails but it's even harder when you have 40lb dog dragging you down, especially when you get to the steps near the bottom. I spend the entire walk looking where I place my feet while I drag Aoife back on the leash. Last night I had enough. I just dropped the leash. She was off like she was shot from a cannon. But she wasn't off and gone, she was up and back across the trail. Lily was let go, too, but she stayed pretty much with us. Best of all, with the lure of chicken treats, Aoife would come back. And when she did, she was exhausted and very easy to control on the leash.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
