Walking the Dogs

I’ve been getting a lot of steps this month as we have our granddog for the month. He’s young and full of energy, and when I walk him, it’s kind of like waterskiing. I’m holding on, and he’s pulling, standing on 2 legs sometimes, darting after every squirrel or rabbit.

My old dog is more of a slow meanderer. He just wants to go slow and smell everything. He’s about 15 years old and getting to be a little hard of hearing.

So, I walk them separately.

Today I gave the old guy a treat. We went in the car (very exciting) to the park (really really exciting) which is across the street from a farm with lots of interesting cow and sheep smells. Dog heaven!

We started on the path and I noticed that the grass was a little dead along the edges. After a while I realized that it was probably just sprayed with herbicide… the line between dead and living grass was just too severe…

What do you think?

It’s a bummer 😕 because, of course, my dog would rather walk on the grass than the paved path. But I don’t want those chemicals on his paws!

Got home and saw this on Instagram.
