Yesterday’s grand outing: a walk with little Kumiko on the golf course — which, as it turns out, is absolutely perfect for two things: stretching furry legs and snapping fabulous photos with those rolling green hills as a backdrop.
However… no one warned us about the wind. Let’s just say it was less “gentle spring breeze” and more “hang onto your Spitz or she’ll take off like a dandelion seed.” At one point, I’m fairly certain Kumiko achieved lift-off. Only the leash saved us from sending out a missing dog report to the nearest weather balloon.
But windy or not, it was a lovely stroll — fluffy ears flapping, tail held high (when it wasn’t horizontal from the gusts), and plenty of posing between the gusts.
Moral of the story: golf fields are great for walks, better for photos, and excellent for discovering whether your dog qualifies as aerodynamic. Maybe next time we’ll take a golf club and teach Kumiko how to find the ball — she’s small, fast, and already excellent at chasing anything that moves. Future caddy in training?
