Park

Today we went to Ancil Hoffman Park by our house. It has a big grassy area and people walk their dogs at night. It's great for Battier to see different types of dogs other than just Canine Companions puppies. Tonight we saw a Bulldog, Springer Spaniel, a few little dogs, St. Bernard just to name a few. There was also a little boy flying a kite, it was the first time Battier has seen a kite and she did great. She was interested at first at what was flying, but she kept her down and just watched.

It was a very windy day today in Sacramento and this trash can was tipped over. The bag was flying in the wind, but still attached to the can and it was making a lot of noise. At first Battier was wondering what it was. She wasn't sure at first, but she also wasn't fearful which was good. I had her do an "Up" on it a few times and she did it every time I asked her to. 

Here's just one of the views of the park. There is also a golf course and typically a lot of deer walking around. It's a beautiful park :) 

Last night we had another skunk encounter! I took Battier outside around 9 pm and Battier was going "hurry" then she looked up at me and walking down our driveway was a skunk! It put it's tail up and went into a small woodpile we have. Last year we had a huge woodpile that the skunks lived in, but we gave our wood away and there were only a few pieces left. We didn't think a skunk could even fit in the pile. I was so happy with Battier's behavior, when she saw it she just looked at me.
