• “I just LOVE meeting/making new people friends...but I have been UNDESERVEDLY attacked WAAAAY too many times by off-leash dogs--so I do NOT like them!!! My Mom says I have become HIGHLY REACTIVE around dogs--whatever that means?? Mom has to back-track/turn around ALL the time so we avoid doggy encounters. Sometimes our walks become VERY long because of all the dodging & detours--so going to a private spot for me might best.“
