| I can completely understand this. I see so many people with huge dogs and they can't control them and are pulling the humans around and its scary to think what if that dog becomes aggressive toward me or my dog because its obvious they can't control them. I have heard of so many stories of small dogs being attacked by bigger dogs. Even a big dog could hurt my guys who are bigger.

| I, too, reel Piper in and invariably pick her up before dog is even close. Whether or not large dog is aggressive, if owner doesn't have control, an exuberant big dog could damage Piper by simply stepping on her or the like...I've said it a lot, we cannot be too careful with our Yorkies! |

| We walk Bella twice a day for about 30 minutes to the park and back, during spring, summer and fall. She's 2+ years old and doesn't like the cold weather. We avoid large dogs and cross the street if we need to. Usually the owner of large dogs go in another direction first. Bella never barks at dogs, however, sometimes other small dogs bark at her so we walk away. If a small dog is friendly, they wag their tail and if Bella wags her tail too, we meet for a moment, like quick socialization, so they can smell each other in a friendly way, otherwise we move on. Also, this winter I'm hoping to test to see if she will try to walk on snow the first time and I've got winter boots for her and a warm coat ready. Her first 2 winters she was bored inside the house and we feel the difference and energy in her when she goes out. She loves it! I hope she will like winter. But it's up to her to decide, lol. |

| Callie was so funny with snow she loved to pee on it and then turn around and watch it melt. If there was only a small spot of snow she would seek it out to pee on it lol.

| I feel so bad for little Penny she has my body type short and chubby lol so her belly will touch the grass or snow if it gets to high. Her brothers are taller. We are lucky we don’t generally get that cold but I’m sure that snow doesn’t feel great on a belly either. Callie didn’t care and would plow right through snow Penny hates anything wet and won’t even go in the wet grass unless you take her out in it.

| Dexter has really been enjoying the cooler weather on our morning walks now. I was worried walking him when it was hot out of him getting over heated |

| Piper and I both enjoy the cooler weather for walking; Piper is wound for sound when we first set off, for sure. She seems to have a lot more energy overall--and a bigger appetite to match! Just love seeing her so lively and engaged! Are your leaves changing color, yet? We're getting quite a bit of color here in Lake G. Pats for your little gent! |

| We’ve had a real dry later summer and early fall here. I don’t know how much pretty fall foliage we will have here. I’m seeing some bushes getting color, the trees not so much. I will know in a week or so. We had a early frost the other night. That’ll speed things up. |

| I walk Emma around our subdivision in the early AM and her last potty break for the evening. Its about 15 minutes. I've tried having her walk with me 2 miles and the girl was pooped so I leave her at home for walks longer than 30 minutes.
