Tino hasn’t been able to search recently because of the heat. We went to Rattlesnake Ledge for an adventure. We got to the top around dawn. It was a great view, but I was too nervous to get very close to the edge with the crazy puppy. He pulled me all the way up, which was kind of nice, but then he pulled all the way down, which was very annoying. When we got about 200 feet from the lake, I unhooked his leash so that he could sprints to the water and dive in. He wouldn’t go. He stayed close to me until we got to the lake. I asked him, “Why the hell were you yanking on the leash all the way down the mountain, killing my knees, if you just want to stay near me anyway?” He didn’t have a good answer.
