It was a beautiful day today, so I took Kodo to our park around 10 am to walk. Just as we were getting out of the car, we ran into a gentleman walking three (3!!!!) Berners! It was great seeing them and chatting with him, but I was kinda embarrassed since Kodo was being a devil-dog- inspired by the beautiful spring weather no doubt.. And the other three dogs were VERY well behaved. Two girls and one boy, the boy was around Kodo's age, the one girl was a little younger, and the second girl was 5 yrs old and a therapy dog. Did notice that Kodo was a LOT bigger than all of them though- so he definitely is freakishly tall.. :)
After we left them, he was being bad-puppy again. He would charge ahead and try to pull me off my feet. Then when I braced and stopped him, he would charge around me and try to gallop off again. He spent the first 20+ minutes of the walk doing this- I was exhausted and my hands and arms were hurting 5 minutes in. We walked (charged?) for about 45 minutes total, by then he was acting tired and panting like crazy, though he was still pulling a bit :/ I took him into the nature center for a drink and some socializing, and he got admired and petted by a bunch of strangers.
Then when we came home, he flopped on the floor and made like a bear rug for most of the afternoon..
