How to Saunter
Some time ago, I wrote about the joys of dog ownership (Off-The-Leash). That was after we had dog-sat our friend Cooper the Saunterer. Whereas before we were learning about his “Saunter Style”, now we are learning that there is a method to this madness. We have now learned how to saunter.
