Willow didn't get into the cargo bike this morning so I followed her instead. She walked to a park close by and then we walked along the beach. A ton of sniffing was done. Saw the sunrise from a different perspective. Then I did something I normally don't do: watched a movie in the afternoon sitting next to Willow.
In my bedside book of daily thoughts today's read, "Be grateful for every second of every day you get to spend with people you love. Life is so precious." For my purpose, I replaced "people" with "the dog". 🙂 I found the sentiment timely and took it on on board.
The sun defiantly peeked through the storm clouds. I must be crazy to be out here: the wind knocked me about a bit as I went to higher ground. I had to open a different car door as the wind kept blowing the usual side shut. Willow joined me for a minute and then high tailed it back to the car. At least one of us has sense. 🤣

Our story today is one of success and Willow overcoming a fear that didn't make sense .... to me. I'm sure she had a good reason. So many milestones to celebrate;
1. She jumped out of the car immediately.
2. Walked past the dreaded white posts where she had previously stopped and could not be lured past.
3. Followed me down the path to catch the sunrise.
I hope to "change the world" (tongue in cheek) by changing the story that one needs to force dogs to face their fears. There are other effective ways to help fearful dogs.
