The last few days, the poor wiener dogs have been couped up. Robert and I were out for several hours both last Friday and Saturday night. Then Sunday through Tuesday, we haven’t had much of a chance to get the dogs out but just walks around the RV park.
When we lived in a house, the dogs had it made, all we had to do was open the door and they had their run of the fenced in backyard. They would spend hours in the yard, chasing each other, or just soaking up the sun.
I feel bad for them that they always have to be on a leash and they don’t have the freedom they used to. Since we’ve moved into our RV at the first of October, Robert and I try to get them out of the house several times a day. I think we walk those dogs more than anyone else walks their dogs in the neighborhood. It’s not only good for them to get out and walk, but it is also good for us.
Today the weather finally turned cooler and Robert and I knew the dogs needed a nice long walk. At about 6 p.m., we loaded the three dogs into the Jeep and was off. We ended up on the outer road of the Courtney Campbell Causeway. The dogs and I were off for our walk. Those guys were so excited and just kept pulling me along. I let them so that they could get worn out. Robert took a few pictures then he drove the Jeep to meet up with us. I let him pull out in front of us and the dogs kept pulling harder, so I started jogging. Oh my, I am not a runner. Those dogs probably could have ran a mile or more at full speed, which is saying a lot for their little legs. Me, on the other hand, no way.
They were so cute, their tails up and noses going. Now, back at home, they are nice and tired. Robert and I enjoy these outings so much better when the heat and humidity isn’t so oppressive. No matter what though, it is important to plan many more outings that include the dogs when you live in such a small space.
