This is our friend, Dolomite. He is a sweet & gentle black lab and he lives just a couple of blocks away with Torry and her family. Torry is a special friend to us and a Tiny Tribe alumni that many of you will remember. Lately, Dolomite's been feeling a little older and a little more tired than usual. We've decided to go and get him on our morning walks once or twice per week so he can enjoy some exercise, sunshine, and fresh air. The Centipede class is really excited about it!
We all took turns holding Dolomite's leash today. He stopped to smell everything a lot and wanted to pee on lots of trees which the kids thought was pretty funny. We explained how dogs can smell other dogs and they want to leave their own scent behind too. :) Dolomite had so much fun on our walk that when we turned around to head back to his house he sat down on the sidewalk and refused to budge for a minute. We promised him treats and water back at his house so he finally obliged.
We gave him some dog bone treats and gave him lots of good pets all over, which he loved, before heading home. We don't know how much he understood but we told him we'd be back to see him again next week.
