Got All That?

Fiorella took Sonia up the north driveway for her morning walk, holding the leash tightly and staying alert for deer since Doggie's bolted the leash twice already this week.  Spotted a pedestrian walking up from the dip at the south edge of the property and turned around before Sonia saw him, walking her back down the north drive again and going up the south drive.  No deer around, pedestrian was out of sight--whew!  Went around the road to the mouth of the north driveway, heading towards the house, and spotted a deer posed ten feet inside the park beside the drive.  Turned Sonia around again and walked her up the north drive to the street, crossed to the south driveway and got her back to the house without incident.

And Husband wonders why Fio always carries extra treats.

People, for the sake of Fio's nerves and your own lives, please do not stride up the road with music in your ears.

Fiorella burst out of her driveway yesterday morning, quickly looked both ways, and started to swing onto the road. a narrow two-lane affair that doesn't even have a yellow stripe down the middle.  Oops--she missed something, an older woman who might have been dressed in camouflage for all that Fio had seen her.  Eyes focused straight ahead and ears plugged with a iPod buds, she never did see Fio.

This one got by unscathed, but what about the next one?
