Yet another reason I love my neighborhood is that there is a run/bike/dog walk path one block from my house. If I so chose, I could use it to get to Concord, MA...which is not close by. Right now, I only use it to get to Medford for my run and to get Ella to meet other dogs.However, Ella doesn't like it at all. As we approach it, she will actively try to walk in the opposite direction. Since she doesn't ever lead the walk, she always relents. But she only feels comfortable when there are lots of people walking on the path. When we're alone with the trees and the squirrels and the birds, Ella is quite nervous. However, on the way back home, when we walk on the major street with the delis...this area doesn't have bodegas, only delis...and the restaurants and realty offices, she's happy as a clam.
What kind of dog prefers concrete and glass over trees and grass? Mine, apparently.

I'd say she's a New Yorker! When I brought my cat from NYC to CT and brought her outside, she crouched close to theground and look up at the sky with terror in her eyes. I windered, had she ever seen the sky before? It is kind of scary...
