I was however passed by a woman and her Labradoodle. (Poodle + Lab mix, very ugly combo in my opinion). Not a good sign to get passed by a woman and a giant poodle. I was ... http://blogs.bootsnall.com/Principal/7-miles-and-a-giant-poodle.html I haven't posted for a while. Lifes been busy and training has taken a back seat to life.
