Yesterday I took the dog to the park. Just a quick lap, the shortest route. He seemed eager, though, running along beside me and begging for treats, so we expanded a little. At the entrance I leashed him up and he leaned into the no-pull harness and dragged me all the way home. So, I may have misinterpreted the eager part.
Same thing happened last night on our weekly walk with Sara and Bu. We shortened our route and took a pit stop at the wine store halfway through to warm up. He pulled me back to their house and when he figured out we weren't staying there he redoubled his efforts to get me home.
This morning it was almost 10 degrees colder than last night. So we slept in. Our usual 30-45 minute walk shortened up to about 7 very efficient ones in which all the necessary business was transacted and he still pulled me the last half block. It's way too cold out there for man or beast.
So I guess we'll be playing inside for a while.

Poor little cold Ed. Abbie Lynn LOVES being warm, way more than Goldie ever did. I thought she was just super affectionate (she is) until I realized she was just trying to get more of herself on the heated lap robe I have on in the mornings.

ReplyDeleteMy Jack was a bad little boy, he got in trouble today. He slipped out the door when the housekeeper was here, and then he went into a neighbor's yard when her gardener was there. When the gardeners left, they shut the gate and he was locked in. Rosa was calling him frantically, and then when I came home I was calling him. It wasn't until the neighbor came home that she found him and let him out - she said he was quite frantic and agitated because he could hear our calls but couldn't get out.
I hope he's learned his lesson.
