RUN!

Patsy, my hound mix, loves to run. So I take her out in my neighborhood and allow her to run beside my car. She gets excited enough about it to race me. I let her out of the car and she takes off to try to get an advantage; when I catch up, she tries other tactics, like taking shortcuts through woods, to get in front of me. I'm tempted to see if there are any dog racing clubs or something like that in my area. She could easily keep up with most dogs; I clocked her today going 30 mph. (That was when she was trying to beat me. ;)) Granted, that speed only lasts for about 10 seconds, but if I keep conditioning her she will probably be able to hold it for longer. She goes 20 easily and for very long periods of time; I run her at that for about 2 miles.

Here are some pictures of her running!

Note all the greenery...we've been getting a looot of rain here for the past 3 wks or so. In fact, it's raining now!!
