Mokka’s 1st run

I took out Mokka for her 1st “formal” run today. We ran a short 3 km course around the neighborhood and, as you can imagine, still being a puppy at almost 6 months old, she was really excited about the sudden change of pace in her regular outing.

Of course her excitement didn’t last for long, after 1 km of non-stop running, she quit biting the leash (like most dogs with “a character”, she thinks that the lead is hers while she does that) and started focusing on looking on the road ahead and going by my side rather than jumping all around.

Then, by the 2nd kilometer, she started to slow down and continuously looked at me as if asking if that “game” was going to end soon. It was really funny to look at her face, so full of concern

We stopped at the same place where we started and she seemed really relieved of the fact. She was tired but kind of excited about the new “game” we just played. We quietly walked back home not without the usual visit to her dog friends along the street.
