The other day, I decided to take the kids for a walk on the Greenway. I figured while I was at it, I’d take Tiny along with us. I said, “Tiny, you wanna go for a ride?” and he was off, standing at the door, whining. I put him on the leash and he ran out to the car and sat down in the passenger seat. He was ready even before the kids were, and the kids were pretty excited.

Of course, dogs don’t have to put on shoes before they can leave the house. This speeds up their getting ready process immensely.

Once the kids were ready, we were off. I haven’t seen Tiny that happy in a very long time. Once we got to the Greenway, Tiny bounced out of the car and dashed around happily. He had an exciting time dashing between each pole, tree and bush, lifting his leg so everyone knew he had been there.

He even didn’t bark at the other people walking the Greenway! It was a good hike. I must remember to take Tiny with me more often.
