Making Me Proud

Tonight I got a wild hair and decided that I would take the dogs for a walk. I know! We haven’t done a lot of walks with them because they are so bad on a leash. Well, Lucy is bad on a leash and I can’t just take Robby without taking Lucy.

But I’ve been getting more and more worried about Lucy and her acting out. I know that it’s partly due to her age (she’s just getting grumpy as she gets older) and she is severely lacking for attention.  So what better way to give them some attention and tire the hell out of them than a good long twilight walk around the neighborhood.

And they were so good! I could not believe how good they were. No pulling (well a little pulling but nothing horrible like they used to), no barking at any other people or dogs…. it was amazing.  In fact, they pooped out before I did. I thought I’d incorporate a little run the last block or so home, and they couldn’t do it! I almost tripped over them because they were so slow. It’s a sad state of affairs when my jiggly behind can run more than two able-bodied dogs.  Maybe they’ll do better the more we do it.
