SOFIE

08/23/24 06:50 DOG DAY OUT REPORT Today I: went for a really long hike at St. Josephs Open Space Preserve. I got called beautiful on 3 separate occasions by other hikers! We saw a lot of other dogs and some of them tried to say hi, but I minded my own business and kept walking. I enjoy being pet just about anywhere on my body, but nothing compares to a good butt scratch! We stopped for water a few times, and each time I took the opportunity to really relax and lay down while drinking. I had a lot of fun sniffing for lizards in the bushes but mostly I was just happy to be out exploring the trails. Three Words to Describe Me are: Lively, Adventurous, Sweet Notes from My Walker: Sofie is a really friendly pup who enjoys being pet, its one of the few times she will sit still! She especially loves butt scratches and its so funny to watch the way she re-orients her body to make sure youre petting her back there. She has a very adventurous spirit and likes to take the lead when walking; we were able to do some nice loose-leash walking for about 2 miles at the end of our hike, but only after 5ish miles of some pretty strong pulling. Sofie is a champ at getting in the car and was totally chill during the drive. I had a hard time getting her harness on initially and had to adjust it a few times to get a good fit, but she was extremely patient and unbothered by all the extra handling.
