Ice Cream

It was a quiet day for Buddy, no work on the house today.

On the evening walk we passed Leinie on our way to the park. Then we met a few of Buddy's friends, Kane and Sable, and worked on calm greetings. No playing until our work was finished. Leaving the park we greeted Maddie, Izzy, and Windsor.

We continued our walk on the streets of Oregon after first stopping by the tennis courts and skateboard park. We passed a few people and dogs, but most of the walk was walking on a loose leash and HALTing at intersections.

On our way back home we allowed Buddy some free time - running by the creek. Returning through the park we met the Rottweiler, Victoria, and after a greeting we walked with her. We had her owner walk Buddy until they turned back for a second loop.

Before Buddy received his nourishment, we stopped at Baskin Robbins for their 31 cent ice cream. There were a lot of people waiting and most were interested in Buddy. He received a few head rubs and gave a few kisses. It was good practice and a good opportunity to be seen. One lady's daughter worked at the school for the blind. One family asked if Buddy was the dog that goes to Janesville Craig. The firemen were interested in his training.


A dog is one of the remaining reasons why some people can be persuaded to go for a walk. - O.A. Battista
