Walking
When Aunt Lola first came to stay at our house she was not a very good leash walker. It took us forever to get ready to go because she wouldn’t hold still to put her leash on. I guess she never went for walks at her house because she gets REAL excited every time it is walk time. When we finally got out the door she would pull Mommy’s arm so bad that it would hurt her. One day she pulled so hard that Mommy dropped the leash and Lola ran away. But then she came right back when Mommy yelled for her, so that was good. Lola used to tangle the leashes all up when we walked because she didn’t know what side to walk on. Then I would get all mixed up…it was a mess.
But now Aunt Lola’s a much better walker. She still gets real excited at walk time, but she tries real hard to sit still while Mommy puts the harness on her. She knows how to walk beside Mommy now – well, most of the time. Lola always walks on the right side and I always walk on the left. Lola even remembers to sit when Mommy stops at the corner! We go for walks every day with Mommy or with Amanda. On the weekends Daddy takes us on walks. Lola even does good for him!
