Day 78 - Blood and boot day

Well I was planning (what do they say about plans and mice and men?) to walk around Lake Merced twice, but as I feared when I got to the car I just jumped in - couldn't help myself.  So I think if I am going to do the twice around I will have to stop 1/2 a mile away and then go back.  I was worried about T getting tired, I have really been pushing her lately, and I don't know if she is up to these walks.  But she doesn't limp or whimper so I think she is okay - I hope.  I was worried that there wasn't going to be any water along the way, but there is a fountain  about half way around and I couldn't really get her to drink so I guess she was okay.

T is so good walking with.  The first T liked to chase anything that moved faster then she did so it was a constant struggle walking with her in public.  I had to find out of the way places and it was impossible to walk with her on leash.  She made it so diffucult that I could walk with her early in the morning before anyone was up or she walked off leash somewhere.  T on the other hand doesn't give a rats about runners, bicyclist, joggers, walkers or motorcyclists.  She doesn't really care about other dogs either if she can stop and sniff their butts.  So I can walk with her on leash, and when I need her to get out of someones way she will stay close (equivalent to a heel) to me.  

On the negative side she is not interested in anything but her toys so I am not sure how much fun the walk is for her, but I enjoy the company so who cares.

Today I give my blood, I hope they get it right this time  Then we are going to REI.  My feet are absolutely killing me.

  1. Boot day was at least 50% good for T3 & I hope she likes the higher ankle support ones too - then it'll go to a 100% good day for T3

    Taya DOES pull, but she doesn't chase bicyles or people - just barks at other dogs!

    "TSH" boot buying was a fiasco as I had to go barefoot most of the day - they didn't fit & I'll return them on Wed - TSH is a DOOFUS!
