Windy and chill

Zoe and I were blown away this morning during our walk.  It was nearly 50 (10) degrees this morning and I started to go out in shorts but it was a chilly 50 degrees and I'm glad I switched to long pants.  I had my sweatshirt hood up most of the walk and my hands up in my sleeves.  Chilly but quiet with only a couple of dogs.  Clearly the neighborhood is becoming more dense as the dogs and people on our path has grown so that only at truly weird times is it ever empty.  On the other hand I no longer get anyone complaining about having my dog illegally off leash.  So it is not too much of a problem.  Toby no longer goes with us.  She is too aggressive and does not know how to mind her own business.

The walk is for my health as much as Zoe's and we both need to be walking briskly for it to work so having her off leash is perfect.  Toby becomes an incumbrance as he can only be off leash a bit and has to be constantly watched.  Zoe and I long ago mind melded so I know where she is and how she will react to any situation.  So we can both cruise.
