After my morning walk with Buddy, it was time to get the girls some exercise. I was thinking PlayLand to let them burn off some energy. The eldest goddaughter wanted to walk on treadmill. So we walked with her on the treadmill a little while. We mentioned to her how dogs can walk on treadmills, a la Dog Whisperer, and she was skeptical. So Buddy got his first walk on the treadmill.
Then it was off to the first test of the day - the PlayLand. Buddy is getting so used to kids that they are not a distraction or he was tired. My guess is a little of both.
In the afternoon we attended an OccuPaws board meeting. A half dozen other dogs in a meeting. Again we questioned our sanity. We knew the dogs would be okay, our concern today was keeping the kids quiet and calm during a two hour board meeting. The kids performed amazingly well, with only a few outbursts. Of course all the dogs performed wonderfully during the meeting and were rewarded with a little time to reacquaint themselves after the meeting.
