The days are getting shorter, the sun sets earlier and walking the dogs becomes more challenging.
When time (and lack of appointments) permits, I am lucky enough to work close enough to home where I can use my lunch and grab the dogs for a quick 30 minute walk.
When time doesn’t permit, I enlist Hubby’s help and we take the dogs for a quick 20 minute walk around the block.
I wouldn’t attempt a block walk without having someone with me; even though Sampson is a good boy and listens fairly well, I prefer to have the extra help. Sampson walks the block without a leash (although we do carry one) but he really does listen better to Hubby in that situation.
Delilah is still looking towards the house where the two dogs with the invisible fence live. Tonight I tried to distract her with a liver treat. I didn’t give her the treat right away, instead I held it in my hand and used it to lure her away. Except when I got her far enough away and went to give her the treat, I dropped it and when she went to snag it I accidentally kicked her in the face. 🙁
Once Sampson realized I had liver treats, he was glued to my side.
Maybe I could walk them by myself after all…
