well I am sure that is a fond memory that you wish you had in your life still. I take stock of the things that Nadi does that kind of annoy me and wonder about how much I am going to miss them in a few years and then try to be nice to her about them.

I don't think I could just let Nadi run free but she doesn't get the chance to do that very often. The closest I can come to that is the couple of times that I let her off the leash on the beach but in that situation I think that if I walked away that she would frantically search for me or just stay in the location until I returned. I should test it one day but I don't want to traumatize the pup.
