Walking the dog

Since the baby, I have been unable to walk Blue.  This is heart-breaking to me.  He is MY dog, he is a momma's boy.  Because of the cesarian, I have to be careful not to do too much.  I followed the doctor's advice for two weeks, that's all I could handle...

This week has been very mild - temperatures on the plus side.  This means that there is a lot less snow and ice on the sidewalks and streets.  I took this opportunity to get the baby in the stroller and get the dog on the leash.  Although it was a little challenging to get Blue to walk on the proper side of the street, it was wonderful.  He was a bit scared of the stroller at the beginning, but as the walk progressed, he got used to it.  He didn't pull at all and stayed next to the stroller the whole time, like a protective older brother.  Usually he is the leader on walks and walks a few steps ahead of me (I know I shouldn't let him do that, but I do...), but this time, he knew that he had to be a good boy.

Even though I know this weather is a bad thing (global warming), I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.  It is allowing me to do the one thing I love doing, walking my dog!
