This summer I was tailing up a very rocky hill, when Cheers decided to pick
up the pace and went springing up the rocks, jerking the lead out of my hands
and causing me to fall on my face. My first instinct was to holler "WHOA"
which he, of course, ignored. So I started calling to him in the soupy
baby-talk voice I use when he's out in the pasture and I have a treat for him. You
know..."Cheeee-yers, Mommy's got a treeeee-yet." He immediately stopped and
waited for me. I never thought that silly little game I play with him would
save him from possible serious injury (there was a road at the top of the
hill), or me from a long walk back to camp!


Chip (the secret's out...I talk baby talk to all my critters!)
