Today was another sunny day, so Richie and I did one of his favourite things - he sits on the front step, and I wander around on the front lawn. I was still beat from the day before, so I did a lot of napping in the back yard. Richie was in the garage doing something with the cars, so I wandered back and forth, looking for the best napping spot.Then after I had my dinner, we went for a huge walk to get some Thai food takeout - it's about 6 blocks - but with my stubby little legs, it's pretty much a jog in each direction. Apparently I did really well, except for the last few blocks, I started to cry, so Richie carried me home. On the way, we ran into some more friends of Richie's that had come over to see me! All this action has me really pooped out!

Wow, Mischa walked 6 blocks! Bailey can only walk 2 blocks and then she's tried! What's your secret?
We do one of two things: 1) bring along our neighbour's retriever (Idaho) for the walk; Mischa loves to chase and pester her all the way there, or 2) bring along a second person, who walks 20 steps ahead; when she stops to sit, the other person beckons her to "come!" and away we go. Key is not to give in to her when she stops - she's not really tired... that doesn't happen until the walk back.
Thanks for your advice Rich! We tried your second advice when we were at Steveston Village and it worked! I guess we'll be walking Bailey in pairs from now on!
