Kallie & Moriah 
Our trip up the coast brought many memorable times and taught us a few lessons along the way. I learned another lesson in patience driving down Highway 1 to pick up my wife from a weekend with her girlfriends in Bodega Bay. I was sure for a few minutes that the logging truck I was stuck behind was going even slower just to vex me. Kallie learned what it is to be a farm dog. Her lessons are surely more valuable than mine. We spent every day at the barn where my mother stables her horse, Moriah. Kallie was in heaven. She had acres on which to roam and a thousand new experiences to enjoy. I was so proud of her. I never had to whistle more than once for her and she was welcomed into the barn community with surprising speed. The are a tight knit group of dogs that live at the barn and Kallie fit right in with them. If I only had pictures of Kallie getting herded by Penny. What a treat it was to see her get a taste of her own medicine. Our cats would have laughed hysterically... Kallie also learned what a horse was. This was a major step for her. She had a few moments of trepidation but she acclimated to these new new creatures with amazing speed. I guess it must be an instinctual thing. She followed Moriah just behind her shoulder and was very wise to keep a safe distance when walking. My father was most impressed with her respect for the horses.
