The big adventure I thought we were going to go on just didn't work out. Instead I was going to take Bohdan down to the beach again... I going to cause once I got him into the car, and to the beach, I found that it was crowded. We weren't going to be able to have our peace and quiet stroll on the esplanade that we have been having.
Who would have thought that on a gray overcast Sunday where it is windy on the coast and probably in the high 50's we would not be able to find parking.
Well I couldn't disappoint him so I decided to head to a grassy place nearby called Lands End. And on the way found lots of parking on a quiet street. So I parked, took Bohdan out of the car and we walked for a good 8 minutes. He was tired and required coaxing to get back to the car.
He was so tired in fact he didn't want to stand on his hind legs for me to lift him into the car.
The draw back of the place we went walking is that there weren't any grassy spots for him to flop on. Hmm maybe that is a good thing.
We got home, and I was just beginning the ritual of trying to talk Bohdan into getting up and out of the car and going into the house. He wanted none of it...
He seems to think that laying in the car for an hour or two is perfectly fine after his walk.
Just then Shari came out of the house with Trillian on leash and was going to take her for a walk. Bohdan thought we should accompany them and came flying out of the car. I guess Shari and Trillian were going to see if Trillian's little legs could make it around the block.
Bohdan approached this walk "full steam ahead"...
We blazed down the block. When we got one house from the far end, he stopped, and the Rotties in that house started barking and barking.
He tried to go up on their lawn and but instead he slipped. His hind legs started to go out from under him in opposite directions... kind of scary. Then he planted one hind leg incorrectly and when I told him to come with me and we headed back home, he had trouble and didn't want to.
But I got him to walk home, and he didn't stop on the lawn, went straight into the house like a good dog. Haven't seen that good dog in ages...
Now he is passed out on the living room floor snoring.
