They would get into a "fight" and braid the lines up then unbraid them again. It was fun for them and me. I preferred them off leash because they could run but they were bad puppies and ran where they were not supposed to. Also it was against the law.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-33999609736164510502009-11-17T05:55:36.078-06:002009-11-17T05:55:36.078-06:00® Natalie: Glad you enjoyed the first part of the ...® Natalie: Glad you enjoyed the first part of the trip.
