DT :>Smokey just pushes them along with his nose.  He wants them
DT :>to run again
DT :>so he can chase them.  Leashes are the safest place for the
DT :>pups until
DT :>Fiddle either gets so she enjoys them or they learn to
DT :>respect her
DT :>space.
That's for sure!  I tie them on my ground driving lines so they can wander 
around the barn while I'm out there.  Yesterday, Otis went into her stall and 
wrapped the line around her front legs.  She didn't move a muscle!  Just 
stood there with her ears cocked at half-mast and waited for me to come and 
unwind him.  For a semi-loony Arab type, she sometimes has more sense than I 
give her credit for!
DT :>Smokey needs to warm his brain up before we can warm his
DT :>muscles up.
Hee!  I always have to lunge Fiddle first...got get the "bucks" out and make 
sure her head has settled so she'll at least try to do some work (g).
The new horse however...I'm not sure lunging would be a good idea...she's so 
laid back, it might result in her slowing down to even mellower speed (g)!
She's coming tomorrow!!!!
