reactivatesIt's true that Trailer is more Artie's dog than anyone else's, but they all enjoy his company. Pete likes to toss a football around with him. Myka even cuddles with him on occasion. And Claudia enjoys taking him for walks because it's an excuse to be by herself without being accused of being "mopey" (she's not mopey, Pete, she likes to listen to her own thoughts sometimes, okay, not everyone can handle you talking about your past girlfriends for three hours straight, oh my god).
This is one of those walking with Trailer times, and it's usually pretty relaxing because Trailer is a good dog, quite relaxed and steady-paced, never drags her around... Except the fact is, they have never encountered a squirrel before. And it's just the right time of year, just the right weather, that the chittery little creatures are starting to come out.
Claudia is actually reading as she walks him, loosely gripping the leash in her hand because, hey, Trailer's a good dog, remember?

She pretty much drops her book and takes off running after him, except when she turns that corner, she runs smack into someone else, and falls ever-so-gracefully onto her ass on the sidewalk. What did she do to deserve this karma? Really?
"Uuughh, crap. Crappity crap. I. Am so sorry," she quickly apologizes to the other person.
