Shhh… don’t tell anyone that Nico was running around naked in the yard. I don’t typically let him out in the yard without any sort of collar on, but I have to say I love a photograph of a dog without a collar on. Nico and I are in tune with each other well enough that I’m comfortable doing this as long as I hang out with him. He’s really good about staying in the yard, and I read his body language well enough to know if he is starting to get a little too interested in something outside the yard.
