| no partners | | Made loops of both English Point trails with the dog. Did the Yellow Trail first, clockwise. Saw a lot of squirrels, some deer, not much water in the pond. Heard a lot of sirens. When crossing from the Yellow to Red trail, saw all the emergency vehicles.
Started down Red trail counterclockwise. Ran across several firefighters and police officers who were finishing up after someone had a heart attack on the trail, ambulance had already left. They tried to get Harlow to let them play with her, but she refused. When she was a puppy, I trained her to step to the edge of the sidewalk or trail when encountering people, and she took that training EXTREMELY seriously. One officer recognized me (there’s a station near my house that we walk past a lot) and we chatted for a few minutes.
Further along the trail, we ran into an autistic man and his caregiver. The man informed me that he was very scared of dogs, so I moved Harlow as far off the trail as I could. I promised him she would stand behind my legs and not move at all while he walked past. Once he believed me, he walked by, and Harlow stayed perfectly still. The caregiver wanted to pet her, but again, Harlow refused. The man declared “that dog is okay. That is a good dog. It didn’t bite me.”
Finished up the loop with no additional interactions. Even more police vehicles in the parking lot when we finished. I have a feeling that heart attack didn’t turn out well, but I’ll find out later. Temps in the low 60s the entire time, comfortable in shorts and a tshirt. Not really a hike, but more than a walk around the neighborhood. |
