The New Winter Olympics Event: Dog Walking


Today when I came home from work, I noticed that there were bare, dry spots on the streets around my block. My comments yesterday made me think. I seized the moment. I grabbed the leash and I took Buddy for a walk. When we first got out on the street and Buddy pulled on his leash, I was a bit scared because I happened to be standing on some ice. He pulled me along a bit, but I was able to keep upright throughout the walk. When we got home, I leashed up Joey and walked around the block again. The walk with Joey wasn't nearly the exciting adventure as it is with Buddy. She can't pull me over.

Anyway, both dogs seem more restful. That's not to say Buddy has mellowed out becauese of one short walk, but he does seem calmer...and I suppose I'm calmer too. I'm hoping that this slight upswing in the weather continues and turns into a trend so that all three of us can get more walks in. It'll improve our healths and our dispositions.

This evening, I'm going to take a long soak at Ken's again. I hope he doesn't get the idea that I only love him for his bathtub. I do love him, but I also love his bathtub. :)
