it really is enjoyable to go out on a walk with your dog when he is feeling well and wanting to enjoy himself.
tonight shari, trillian, bohdan and i headed to the beach at about 8:30.
bohdan got out of the car on his own. i opened the back of the car and told him to wait and he lay down and waited, then i was manuvering to help lift him out when he jumped out, and to top it all off, he didn't fall. he landed on all fours and kept on going. it was very exciting.
it was very dark but neither dog was going to let us skip tonights walking adventure.
shari took bohdan's leash and i took trillian. we walked the whole length of the esplanade with our bohdan stopping to rest.
the we made it back about 1/4 of the way before he decided he wanted to hangout in the flowers.
shari ran with trillian and i took a few turns doing the same. working with her so she learns to pay attention and listen when we change direction and tell her this way.
bohdan sat and watched, becoming stressed when i would run with trillian. then i went to get the car. he got up and followed with shari for a bit. i believe he realized that i was getting the car as he sat down and waited.
once i pulled up, he approached the car with shari from the passengers side. he walked around behind the car and came to the dirvers side. this is something he does all the time when i pick him up. for some reason he wants me to get out of the car and he wont walk in front of the car to greet me.
oh well, i put him in the car and we all went home.
when we got home shari brought trillian into the house and i started to do the usual pulling the blankets to get him out of the car. bohdan immediately got up and got into position to get out of the car on his own. i wouldn't let him. so i helped him out, and he went straight to the front door.
i am not sure why he didn't go in through the open garage door, but i opened the front door and he went in to get his cookies for being a good dog.
