Not the skateboard trick. This post is actually about walking the dog.
Our dog is about 2 years and 3 or 4 months old. I have always loved him, even when he was 9 weeks old with needle teeth and peeing in the house. I loved him, but I didn’t really love being a dog owner at that point. I’d never had a dog before. Neither had my wife. We were new at it. Luckily my wife is super smart and she did a fantastic job training him, and getting professional training for him as well.
Today I worked from home. She’s out of town so it was just me and him and the cat. I had to go into work for about 3 hours this morning. He was in his crate, and of course he was great.
Anyway, I took him out for about twice as long a walk as he gets on a normal afternoon because he’s been so good. It was a really nice day here, so we walked down to the neighborhood park so he could watch the kids play, which he likes. It was nice to have the freedom to do that. I hate that I can’t do that with him every day. Soon, little guy, soon we will all go for great walks all the time. We’ll go to the nature preserves a few times a week. It’s going to be good, little buddy.
