[nagdu] Lines in the sand?

[Hope Paulos]

Thanks all for your suggestions. When I was working with my Fidelco trainer, 
he just said to put my foot near her back feet as she was going (number 2 
that is) and feel her back. The problem of walking wasn't discussed. I'll 
try all of these suggestions though.

Hope and Beignet
