As mentioned before I am taking care of our little hellhound Smilla for a couple of days… Her wild behavior basically requirtes her to spend her life at the leash. Without it she would instantly run away to hunt…
She often sniffs and follows tracks aside the path into the bushes to check for game but on a towline she can have at least some freedom without much danger for game. She is very fast, probably faster than Ninja, and can make huge leaps… I am pretty certain she would catch most game she decides to go after. She chooses very careful which prey to pursue and saves her energy on lost causes…
Why would I let such a beast off leash? Hah, I am not crazy… I think wildlife should be left undisturbed… but I also wanted to reward her for being so nice the past week. She was a true gem and very trusting, calm and friendly… I wanted to honor that. I wish we had a little garden, here at the riverside in Budenheim (know anyone who is renting one, direct message me?). We go to places without game, or places she really can’t escape… canyons, creeks, fenced areas or as we did today… to the dam. It is just a pile of stones with water on each side… and a break after 150m (so water can flow into the marina) she could not overcome…
Nevertheless she loved to run around and expressed her happiness by love-biting Ninja, offering to play. Here is a shot after she came to rest 🙂
