Going for a Walk

This week on my day off I decided to do something with my dogs that we rarely do.  Go for a walk. 

 

Sure, we exercise a lot, but I prefer off leash walks by far.  The dogs can run like maniacs, I have my hands free, and we all have a grand ol' time.  But I needed to put out some business cards in a local "city" (in New Hampshire, anything with buildings close to each other and no farms is a city), so I figured the pups and I could practice leash manners while taking in the local color.

Yup.  Definitely in NH.

Skye hates leash walks, so she made sure to look extra unhappy in all her pictures.

Keep that camera out of biting range Mom.

If Skye didn't hate leash walks to begin with, she still would have hated this one.  Sweatshirt, Easy Walk Harness, and Waist Leash.  Fail, Fail, Fail. 

 

We did get to meet a shop dog with some friendly advice for dogs on the street. Or at least for their humans...

"Scoop the poop"

If nothing else, at least Parker got to pee on a few signs and gain some new territory.

First the stop sign, then the world!

For the most part, I had a good time.  But no one wanted to pet Skye even with her sweatshirt and her polite behavior.  I'll have to break out the fairy wings next time!

Excuse me?  Fairy wings?

You can just leave me here, thanks.  I'm sure these nice rich people would love to adopt me.
