Geez, I was hoping that KC would give me a birthday present and be a good girl on our walk. It was the worse walk EVER! Every freakin’ squirrel was out frolicking around in the grass. She took off chasing more squirrels than I could count. We got about half way down Kings Road and she apparently wanted to take a left on a random street. She put on the breaks and would not walk. I petted her and tried to coax her to come. Then I yanked on her and then I gave up and we turned left. She took off running and I held on tight. We got to the end of the block and she takes a 90 degree turn into a yard around the corner as I tripped over several skateboard ramps and other junk. I hurt my ankle and rehurt a burn on my wrist. 
I was not having the birthday morning I was hoping for. I was so mad at her I told her we were going home. Unfortunately, MORE squirrels were out and we zig-zaged back up to the main street. Then she really was making a statement. She laid down in the grass and would not get up. I waited, checked my email, and tried to pretend when cars were coming by that I was cool with her lounging in the sun. Finally, when no one was looking, I picked up her front legs and made her walk on the back legs. She did it for awhile and then got mad and tried to nip me. I let her go and she laid down again. I talked to my mom and she even offered to come pick up the “brat” so I could get home. I dodged the passing cars and forced her to walk on her back legs until finally about a block from home she gave up her rebellion and walked dutifully home. I was so ticked at her and I’m not real excited about our next walk together. She is lucky I love her so much!
