For a change of pace I took Cyrano to the nieghbors cornfield out back and
tried walking him there.  Well...at first he wouldn't walk at all.  Then
he'd take a few steps and stop, and then I'd pick him up and carry him.  So
we went around the perimeter of the field like that with him on/off again
walking or being carried.  How far can the little guys walk???  I know when
it's in the house it seems like the skies the limit but how far really
before they are tired???  And what is the nature of their walking?  Do they
always walk you where THEY want to go or can they actually be walked like a
dog???  So far with Cyrano he usually walks me wherever except last night I
wanted to see his reaction to the field with the dirt, corn stalks, high
grass, rocks, etc. :-)  Nice walk if he would have walked a bit more or
been satisfied being carried without digging and squirming.  He didn't like
my neighbors barking dogs one bit.  Personally I don't blame him I don't
like the almost constant barking either.  Everytime we're ou tside all
they do is bark and for 3 hunting dogs they sure do make a LOT of noise.
 
The only other thing I noticed was that every time he heard a bird he would
stand stock still which the trees around the field are filled with all
different kinds of birds. :-)  So it was a very slow walk. :-)
