12. Uh, yes. I was walking toward NG to say hello and Shadow flew past me.

She raced to the fence line and commenced barking raucously at the horse.
I didn't want her to continue so I called her back.

Shadow seems somehow to feel it her duty to bark at horses. She used to really bug Maddie and Pete, but Laurie kept after her and she's gotten better. Besides,
on one occasion she got too close to Maddie, who lashed out with her hind leg. Maddie's hoof struck a small metal bark collar piece. Laurie and I heard the
thunk sound and were glad Shadow hadn't gotten hit instead.

That incident taught Shadow to back off some, however, she still likes to run up
to the horses and bark her fool head off, like today. Don't want her scaring the neighbor horse!

Thanks D_D!
