Jon has a bad head cold, and Laura was working at a client’s, so Photon got only one walk (run) today. She was at loose ends for the first part of the morning, desperate for exercise, but when she realized it wasn’t coming, she settled down and slept for much of the day. What a mature puppy!
When we got out, I was determined to give her a good run, so we headed to Riverdale West, where a number of dogs and owners were encamped near the top of the fairly-steep hill, and the dogs played on the slope itself. Photon was immediately challenged and chased by a larger Sheltie. Photon took off in sharp serpentine patterns up and down the hill with the Sheltie in hot pursuit, finally ditching her in a tight, 5-gee turn that left the Sheltie tumbling down the hill.
But the day wasn’t done: look who came to the party:
Photon and Cobalt. Picture courtesy of James Redekop.
We met Cobalt again! Both sisters were tired; Cobalt had spent the day at doggy daycare and Photon had been in the park about an hour. But off they went, first chasing toys, then wrestling with each other ferociously. And within ten minutes of wrestling, there was blood again—Photon’s other baby canine came out during the fight! Her sister knocked out both her top canine teeth!
Enjoy the excellent pictures on James’ blog; next time I’ll bring my camera!

I just hope that Cobalt doesn’t keep knocking out teeth after the adult ones come in!
Fortunately, she hasn’t shown any sign of doing that with her adoptive relatives.
