Mia had such a nice day yesterday. First she had a tree to deck runner installed to allow her 80 feet of movement in the yard - and I think she likes it. Later, her friend Jasper (an Irish wolf hound) came over for a cookout. They played well indoors and on the deck, so we figured that we should just see what happens if we let them play in the yard together without any leashes or anything to keep them from running off. At first they ran at full speed around the house in circles and then they settled into rolling all in the grass. There was really no urge from them at all to wander off out of the yard into the street or anything. This was the first time that we've ever let Mia off her leash because we really thought that she would run away like a jerk. A major factor in all this was that there weren't any other people or dogs walking by the house to distract them, if that were the case then I'm sure Mia would run off to bark at the passers by. I'm so proud of her though, she really did so well! Jasper is invited back anytime.
