Wanna go for a walk...?

[Pat and Traveler]

Traveler was sound asleep on the bed this morning, and I was talking to him, 'ya know, sharing world events and daily happenings, when I tossed in the phrase 'wanna go for a walk?'  Just to see if he was REALLY listening to me.  Yup.  He was instantly on high alert.  He's so cute when he hears that phrase!  Tilts his head, stares intently into my eyes--did I really mean what he just heard?  So we had to go for a walk in the nearby park, where he got a cookie from Kaye, the cookie lady, who does cleanup in the park and makes home-baked treats for all the dogs (though she thinks Trav is special, and he sits so nicely in front of her, waiting for his treat), and he got to play fetch with Cedar and Lulu, two doggie friends who are often there in the early morning.  Far from a high-drama morning, but a typical one, and one of the little time-capsules I've come to love sharing with the dood.

Wow! What a wonderful doodley day!!

[Jennifer and Jack]

I do the same thing with Jack I talk to him and tell him about all kinds of things... I never say the word walk unless I mean it.. He goes crazy.. Sounds like you had a great morning.

[Jodi and Stella]

Sounds like a fabulous morning!

Pat, I talk to my dogs all the time.  Sometimes I even call DD one of the dogs names.   She thinks it is so funny when I do this and then barks at me. 

[Pat and Traveler]

Yes, I've always talked to Trav.  I thought everybody talked to their pets... :)  Kaye, the cookie lady, is a great asset at the park.  Trav recognizes her from a block away.

I love that you share world events and daily happenings with your dood.....now I feel "normal"!   I've done the same thing....to see if he's really listening! LOL!   Sounds like you and Traveler had a lovely morning Pat!    I wish we had a "cookie lady"....she sounds darling.

If you mention, ball or walk at our house you had better be prepared to follow through. Now who wouldn't want to go for a walk when it involves cookies and playing with your friends. Traveler is a very smart dood.

How perfect.  It's the small things in life which are really the most important ones and the ones that money can't  buy.
