John Sisson often goes for a walk, but never without Dash, his half Daschund, half Border Collie friend. Dash is "in high gear or dead stop", according to John. Dash loves to chase squirrels. They have a squirrel feeder that keeps Dash very busy and apparently the squirrels like to tease him. In the evening, possums pass through the yard and Dash will chase them into a corner, then he relents and they amble off, with Dash on their tail. Dash has a regular group of canine friends he likes to visit on these walks, which John calls his "social hour" including an Irish Setter named Pal and an Alaskan Husky
