We had a lovely walk in Rock Creek Park with Mary P and her dogs Henry and Tobey. Molly is still terrified of dogs, but it was nice to spend time with some dogs that are so well behaved that the most out of line thing that happens is Tobey licks, sometimes. And I think it was nice for Molly to see dogs being really gentle, and calm, and the dog's person being gentle and calm, too.
We took the walk after checking on Mary's horse at the barn there. This was the first time that Molly realized that you can have a horse that doesn't live at your house. The next time I tried to use the "we can't have a horse because we don't have any room for one at our house" line, she told me maybe we could find a stall for it at a stable in Berkeley?
