The ride would be more stressful than fun.<br /><br />JMG, Lucy and the boys have to work hard to find the really lush portions of grass. I'm monitoring their weights closely and will restrict their range time as soon as I notice any hint that they're getting wider.<br /><br />CeeCee, Smooch will do a fairly long sit/stay while I step back to take her picture, but I'm always ready to run and step on the leash in case a rabbit jumps out of a bush.the7msnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01082802012105875164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-75252951942414658272011-08-12T07:41:13.092-06:002011-08-12T07:41:13.092-06:00I would think unattended brush fires are a desert ...I would think unattended brush fires are a desert rancher's worst nightmare - unthinkable! <br />I enjoy your travels with Smooch.
