I have been having trouble with Sam my dog chasing wildlife and killing it! She has been chasing for a while now but just in the last month she has been snatching small animals right off the trail and killing them right in front of me. This does not sit well with me! So I have been working with her on and off a leash to try and stop this, last week she pulled a baby deer out of the bush and I had to save it.

Today I took a late MTB ride out at Lambert Park with Sam, we only had about 45 min till it was lights out so we headed down Rodeo. About 2 min in I noticed she was right on the trail of a chicken, there were feathers everywhere. I stopped her before she hurt it but as we got moving again she got right back on it. So I rode her butt right back to the car scolding her the entire way and left her sitting in the car while I went back out and finished the sun.

On the ride my back brakes failed so I need to get the bike into the shop and get them fixed, that’s ok I have a plane to run to the summit of Timp this week and need to push myself to the 14 mile mark.
