[Sweet Apple]

but remeber to let her go sniff to talk to other dogs and see who been peeing around the hood.

LOLOL....I love that!!! Actually, and I'll probably get ripped for this one...Apple is in heat, and she REALLY does want to see who's been peein' around the hood! She's like a little boy dog...She wants to stop at every mailbox, light pole, and tree, and it's funny how she will leave her "calling card" at certain places lol...But people, pul'eeze don't worry about her getting bred, as I, rarely, rarely, rarely, see a loose dog in our neighborhood, and I'm packin' heat (pepper spray), just in case ...When she is "ready", I won't be walking her that week, and I've been very fortunate, that we've had rain almost everyday, since she started ummm, spotting...I do appreciate all the info, 'though...She's really not doing that bad w/the walks, but it has been a bit of a challenge, here lately....
