This morning it was my turn to walk the dog. I took her to a nearby park with two hiking loops, which are about a mile total. Lots of folks bring their dogs here and although there are signs to keep your dog on leash, almost no one follows them. So, I let mine off whenever I go there. She enjoys being under the trees and sniffing. But, there are many squirrels and if she catches one moving, she’ll often take off running after it. Depending on how driven she is by the squirrels I might have to put her on leash so that she calms down and walks next to me. Today, there were a few other folks with their dogs, but none that my dog found appealing. Occasionally, when she meets a dog she likes, she’ll befriend them by doing zoomies in the field and getting the other dog to chase her. We finished our walk and went home.

    My dog is a princess who doesn’t like the cold. She went out to do her business then insisted on coming right back inside

    Can we get this post removed? I was paying bills while reading this when it popped up. It sparked a piquant sort of joie de vivre that reduced my efficiency by at least 10%. I would greatly appreciate it if this community would abstain from profaning the solemnity of my dullness.
