Daily walk
We’ve been walking the pets in the neighborhood surrounding this RV park in Redwood City. The park is a total dump but the little houses around are small and mostly well cared for. Lots of pretty gardens, mostly with rose bushes but a few really amazing ones too.
Ingrid has begun holding Ginger and it’s going surprisingly well. Ginger seems to understand that she can’t pull and she stays right next to Ingrid’s side, walking slowly. I take Otto who has to be corrected 100 times in ten minutes, and Pluto follows several paces behind. We have to walk slower and stop and wait for him, as he gets distracted sometimes. But the dogs enjoy it more because because that means more outside time.
People often shout to us out of their car window. Today an old man said, good looking dogs! Another wanted to know if they were pointers. A kid said, hey there’s a cat following you! (That’s the most common one.) A woman asked, are you walking your cat? Does he just follow you?! It’s kind of fun sometimes, having an excuse to talk to some locals. Other times it’s just annoying : )
