Day 28

Writing 2026

Lydia and I did a new circuit this morning, continuing on a route that we normally turn back on.

When we encountered another dog I was able to pull her into an area to one side, made up of hay bales. Although she did see the dog as it passed, and did some barking and lunging, she also managed to sit when I said “sit” which I did firmly. I promptly rewarded her for this and made it clear how well she’d done, which of course she had.

It was raining a bit but didn’t feel too cold.

Back home I put the shoulder bag that her harness and leads are attached to by the radiator to dry out. A short time later I spotted her gorging herself on the contents of the treat bag! Oh well, we all have to help ourselves a bit sometimes.

As this now brings me to the last day of my latest 28-day cycle of writing a post a day, I’ll have a break for a couple of weeks. In the meantime I’ll post a previously published post each day as I usually do.
