In the back of the truck we had Halo, Raimi, Petal, Zero, Telly and Jackson. Telly is a Pitbull who looks like a little pig.
Jackson is a Min Pin x Pitbull and he’s a little spitfire. The picture of them is from last year but you get the idea.
We eventually found the park despite my poor memory. Jackson was on a flexi lead because his recall is less than perfect and half a minute in he yanked the flexi out of Liana’s hand. Liana started chasing him and yells ‘Jackson you’re not going to like this!’ referencing the handle of the lead chasing him. I was laughing too hard to help. He stopped to sniff something and she caught him. Ten minutes later he did the same thing. Liana had a death grip on the lead after that.
Halo, Raimi and Telly spent the entire time absorbing every smell they could. Zero followed everyone he into whatever they were doing. Jackson spent his time at the end of the lead wishing his recall was better. Petal stayed right behind me as always. The pack operated very smoothly the entire walk. It’s a credit to all of their temperaments.
About 45 minutes in Zero stopped sniffing and stuck pretty close as if to say ‘Are we there yet?” Petal was lagging behind so I carried her a little way to give her a break. Zero is just too heavy for that! By then we were close to the truck so we headed back and everyone had a couple cookies to tide them over and while Liana and I had a picnic.
The dogs all slept like the dead on the way home and I couldn’t see them in my rear view because they were all lying down. It was a good day and well worth it for a change of pace.
This past weekend we headed west to the mountains for a good romp in unsurpassed beauty. Canmore is such a pretty town and while we didn’t stop to do any shopping I definitely will next time as there are lots of neat little overpriced stores to visit while the dogs sleep after a good walk.
