Test drive
posted in pets |
Today was my first chance to “test drive” the new puppy, with a walk around the block. Ten minutes of exercise. For me. She was like a very curious fish, fighting the line while trying to see and walk in all directions at once.
Heel is a learned concept, so we’ll have to do this on a regular basis (think of all those cardio benefits), but a dog doesn’t need those benefits. She’s been leaping couches all day long. And just when the term “endless energy” seems to fit, she’ll flop and dognap just long enough for the whole family to forgive the latest rounds of transgressions.
