Meandering the Neighborhood

Gunnar and I took a walk a couple of weeks ago. Boy does a little bike with training wheels make everything that much better. He loves it and doesn't complain and can go forever. I am not a take-a-walk-type of person so we took a short walk, plus, in my defense, it was threatening to rain. We had fun and the dog needed out too.

Gunnar insisted on a picture of these robin birds way back in someones yard. The funny part is that everytime he sees a robin, he always says, "Just like grandma Robin." If he only knew she was teased and called Robin red-breast growing up. I don't even recall teaching him that those are called robins. He loves them because they remind him of grandma, which he adores.

Mr. Diesel gets a little camera shy. Before someone goes off thinking he has a muzzle on, he doesn't and this thing is a lifesaver. It makes us look like good dog walkers with an obedient dog when in reality he is nutty on just the leash. He pulls so hard, he gags and chokes. We used this with 100lb Kaika for years and she was perfect so we introduced this as soon as it fit. It works just like a horse halter and leads the dog where ever you need to go. He loves his walks too. Apparently not the camera so much.
