catching up

this week has been hard for me since i started working again, after many months off.

so we will play catch up in our log.

tuesday and wednesday we walked around the block, bohdan was unpleasant.
he walked nicely until we got to the halfway point then needed coaxing and pushing to get to about 6 houses from home. at which point i decided to get the car and drive him home.

now thursday and friday i tried something a little different these were the days that i was working, and had a one hour commute to get home. well it ends up being more then an hour but..

it has been cold and foggy here in the evenings, but it is still light enough to walk until about 9.

i took bohdan down to the beach and we walked on the grass. i was more relaxed since i didn't have to worry about a neighbor coming out of their house and yelling at us for laying on their lawn, and bohdan then getting upset and giving them what for.

so thursday we walked and rested on the lawn, and when i decided that we had gone long enough we headed to the car, he got in right away and when we got home he got out with no problem. i was very pleased with him.

friday was a little less ideal but still it was alright, we walked further and rested a bit longer, watched the strange people who were hanging out down by the water. bohdan was less eager to get into the car and for the last stretch he lay down every few feet until i lost my patients with him.

we then went on a bit of a car ride, home to get trillian and then to the city to pick up shari.. i think this adventure helped him a bit in breaking up the boredom of not having a human home during the majority of the day. this is something i have been working on and off, mostly off for the last year so he is used to having me around the house....
