Dakota & Benny

Dakota & Benny were very very excited to go for a walk today! They barely sat still long enough for me to put their leashes on. Then when I opened the door they were both pulling me to go while I locked up! It was a gorgeous day out today for a nice walk. It's been awhile since I didn't have to wear a jacket! We walked pretty far today and they both did well. I'm sure Benny is happy that most of the houses took down their Christmas lawn decorations! There was one house that we passed that still had some up, but he only let out a small growl. Dakota usually doesn't go #2 on our walks, so I can't report on that today. She seems to be doing fine though! She ate a little bit when we got back. They both drank a bunch too, so I refreshed their bowls. Forgot the camera today, so no picture... sorry!

Taz

This morning I noticed a couple of the cars were switched. I went to feed and water Taz and then we went on our way. Today was just a beautiful day to go on our walk! We took the longest route. It was the warmest day by far, too bad it was my last visit with Tazzy boy! I spent extra time with him today to make up for the day I cut his visit shorter. I think he appreciated the warmer weather too. He played and sniffed around a lot more, and just seemed to have more energy. We passed a couple houses today that had barking dogs in the backyard and Taz whined a little. I don't know why, but today he finally noticed the frozen mole laying on the sidewalk that we passed everyday. I had to tell him no and pull him away from it before he got it! When we got back, we played fetch for quite awhile. One time I threw it for him and it bounced outside both fences! I walked out of his pen and tried to reach through, but my arm just wasn't long enough. Oh how he cried! I went and grabbed my ice scraper from my car to try and push it into my reach. That worked! So then we threw the ball some more, until I ran out of treats. I said goodbye and gave him his chewie. Taz is so awesome! He was great for me, and despite the cold, I had a great time with him. I just love him and would be happy to walk him again anytime!
