Yesterday on a hike we met this 10-month-old Springer Spaniel who was not at all impressed by Coco Furrocious despite Coco’s incessant commands that she be taken seriously. Coco was so loud and mouthy that if you had only heard and not seen the spectacle you would have sworn that we were beating her with a bat. Jon and I only encouraged her to get out all that rage because we knew that it meant she’d be so tired afterward that we’d have at least 15 minutes of peace.
