Dog walk!

Indy LOVES going for walks. She wants to sniff everything, run all over everything, look at every tree, and put anything she finds into her mouth. Here's a ton of photos of Indy on a walk.


Just sniffing around at some fallen leaves--she loves to chase leaves, especially on windy days. She also does this little pointer thing with her paw when she's concentrating.


An over-the-shoulder shot of Indy. She doesn't always get the concept that the person sets the pace--she'll lag behind sniffing something and then run ahead. We're working on walking next to each other.


One of Indy's favorite pastimes (if you can have a pastime after two weeks of walking outside) is picking up sticks in her mouth and carrying them during the walk. She'll usually carry a stick for maybe 15 seconds before she'll get distracted and drop it, and if we stop she'll gnaw on the stick.


We had a wind storm recently and Indy was very intrigued by this fallen branch--just like a huge stick!


So she decided to chew on it.


As you can see, we walk her with a harness. We love it because we can give her a little tug if she starts sniffing at trash or gets distracted without hurting her neck, and she likes it because she didn't quite understand the concept of a collar on her earliest walks--she'd run to the end of the leash and pull herself in a circle by her neck.


Happy puppy at the end of the walk, ready to go inside!
