Kai and I have not been on a walk in ages, so I had to get out of the house and get both of us moving. The first block I thought okay, I do not need that arm. It is a good thing I know that she is going to pull hard the first few minutes of being released from the yard. She finally calmed down about two blocks into the walk and we had no more pulls. But just when I thought she was going to behave, she comes to a dead stop, no matter how hard I pulled or how many times I said come, she was not moving. So I looked to where her nose was pointing, up on a porch was a statue of a dog. It was of about her size but looked like a St. Bernard. Kai just stood there cocking her head. I am pretty sure Kai was thinking: if I was out on the porch without a leash I would chase after a dog standing in my yard. I think Kai wanted the dog to do something, instead of standing there "looking" at her. I finally convinced Kai to keep on moving, but she kept looking back at the dog on the porch. We have passed this house on numerous occasions but I think she was always sniffing the ground and had never seen the dog on the porch. I wonder if she will remember this the next time we are walking.
Right after that encounter she meet another dog, this one was full of playful energy and Kai I think was relieved that the dog actually acted like a dog. That was our drama for the day, we finally made it home and Kai opened the door, drank some water and went to sleep.
