My little girl has slept for almost two days. After spending Friday at daycare, she came home and fell asleep while I finished up Season One of The Dog Whisperer. When I was done, I managed to rouse her long enough to go to the mailbox with me to drop them off. It gave us a chance to practice our walking. The mailbox is located on Elmwood Ave and Elmwood freaks her out with all the traffic on it and the people walking around, but we did ok our first time out. I kept her by my side or behind me. There were a few times on our way back that she started to pull, so I just stopped until she calmed down. I think starting next week, when I get back from Syracuse/Albany, I'm going to increase our afternoon route to walking up Ashland, down Bryant to Norwood, down Norwood to Summer, Summer over to Elmwood, Elmwood up to Bryant, Bryant back over to Ashland, and down Ashland to home. That should get us out for close to an hour and will give us a chance to continue to work on our walking. Hopefully by the time Bailey gets here we'll be amazing pack leaders for her.
We did not get out for our walks yesterday. It started raining as I took her out the first time around 8:00 and it was still pouring when we went to bed. I think she was glad for the day off, but I'll get her back out there tonight. Exercise is so important. I want my little girl to feel fulfilled and happy...whether she likes it or not....
