Two Steps Forward?

In the last few days it seemed that we had moved beyond "two steps forward, one step back". But last night things seemed a little off kilter -- the routine I thought we had established was not as "routine" as I had hoped. Not like a couple of weeks ago, but not as reliable as I thought we had established.

The days are still a challenge. With the poorer winter weather outside there is a disincentive to exercise her for long periods in the yard or the deck. She seems disinclined to walk far down the sidewalk away from home. Our strategy will be to put her in her carrier and walk with her to a distant point then return home with her on the lead.

Took some photos that I will work on to post here soon. She responds well to the camera and I am trying to make the camera not an object of interest in itself. The shots I would like to get are those candid and quiet moments when she is not experience her PADD (puppy attention deficit disorder). I am using the wide lens most of the time just to ensure I can keep her in the frame given her proclivity to move quickly and in difficult to anticipate directions.
