Walking

I never did this walking thing when I was living on the street. Back then I'd just run along, chase things as I wanted and hope for the best. Sometimes I forget how small I am and chase after much bigger things. When I walk with my mama and daddy and most wonderful girlfriend Nola I like to guard them from potential predators (i.e. cars, other dogs, children on bicycles, you get the idea). This weekend I went on 2 walks!!! I get so excited when we are getting ready to go I can hardly sit still for all my collars I have to wear.

This is Nola and me stopping for Daddy, we thought he was going to give us a treat, no such luck. Lately they have been strapping Nola and I together on this dual leash. I love being that close to my most wonderful girlfriend but sometimes she slows me down.
Our first walk on Saturday didn't go so great. We had a car go by really slow and I just barked and barked and then I just had to get it, I couldn't help myself I wanted to run and chase it. This has happened before to not so great results although I really can't understand why. But my mama and daddy wouldn't let me chase it so I had to fight the leash and try to bite myself loose (no luck dangit!). So Daddy took me home early and Nola and Mama kept on walking without us. I did get to attack the trees in our yard when we got home, you never know what they were doing while we're gone. I gave them a lot of bites though so we are all good.
Sunday's walk was good but I didn't chase any cars. Some days I'm better than others, I'm not sure what happens but I get in this crazy state of mind and just can't get out of it. Hopefully my folks won't give up on me and will let me keep trying.
Happy new year and happy walking!
