2004-02-08 - scaredy dog
Today I walked a dog who was afraid of the wind.

Not the wind per se, but the wind's effect on the trees and things hanging above our heads: rustling, waving, chattering leaves, overhanging flapping things, open trashcan lids that bang.

Each time something frightened him we approached it slowly, and as soon as he responded to "sit" he was given a moist and disgusting dog treat.

By the time we reached the motorbikes he was fine.

Unfortunately dog treats don't do it for me.
