Today it is cooler and cloudy. Mocha & I went for an early walk, and on the way back home we saw Pookie. She is a neighbor dog that has been reactive when she sees Mocha, and of course, Mocha reacts back at her. But today, Pookie, with a few soft words from her mom, kept walking and ignored Mocha. I looked over at her after she had gone by, and she was calmly walking and wagging her tail.
I can't say the same for Mocha. She reacted as she usually does (fur up, huffing, wanted to cross the street towards Pookie). I gave her a correction, but it took a while for her to calm down. But maybe now that Pookie doesn't show any interest in Mocha, things will change for the better.
I need to ask Pookie's mom what she did to that girl!
On the walking front, I've been doing a power walk every other day. My goal is for my pace to be under a 15 minute mile, and yesterday I did a 14:31. I'm happy with that. Still miss running though.
