I was surprised that Otis wanted to go for a walk considering how he’s been all week with the heat. But nope, he was all for a walk on the trail. I also figured the trail would be nice and shady. He sniffed all his favorite trees and Flora. As we came up to some large cut logs on the side of the trail, I noticed he slowed down a bit as he was checking them out. But one stump, still sticking out of the ground at an angle got him so spooked! I have never seen a dog so large, jump so high! Poor guy! Once we were past the scary stump it was all fun. We saw a turtle slide off a log into the water. We said hi to a few fluttering butterflies as well. On the way back we had walk past the scary stump once again. I made sure to be on the side of said stump so he felt safer and he was very brave. As we walked past it, he watched out of the corner of his eye as to not make it obvious that he was on guard and once we were clear, he turned around to me with the cutest smile telling me he was proud he was so brave!
