Well after the Walk............Here we are and every one is still alive!! We went on a long walk and it took us along time because I took a ton of pictures. I think I tried out Max by the end and both were excited to see Home!
I was surprised having a 2 year old Sheltie, 4 month old Cocker and a stroller how easy it was once I let every one know where they were suppose to be. Max walked on the left always lose leash and rarely stopped to inspect things and he is not on a leash often maybe a total of 6 times since I got him a month ago (winter is not a good time to walk with a toddler).
Jacobi was awesome to! The only problem he had was veering to the other side of me instead of staying on the right and this was quickly corrected with a "Over Jacobi" a slight tug in the right direction and then when he corrected I would treat and praise and he got it right away. They both know the command wait and even with cars zooming by and people and new smells they sat down at the corner(well away from the street) and waited until I said Ok Lets Go! Nether one of them pulled at all! Not once and Jacobi Didn't BARK at any one!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it! He spooked like he wasn't use to being around a lot of cars but that didn't last long either.
It was an awesome walk all around!We only had one little problem with some people getting off the bus I was at the corner and I saw them coming so I wrapped the leash around my hand so he only had about a foot of leash and told them he is a barker I am telling you so he doesn't startle you so he didn't bark at all but he and Max were butt waggalen and excited to see people! So they past by me and as they walked up the steps of the museum and opened the door the lady stuck her head out from behind it and yelled Next time people Walk by pick up your dog! WTH why would I pick him up he didn't do anything and he is 30 pounds! They are the ones that got off the bus when we were on the corner.So really it was no ones fault we were both there. Why do I have to pick him up? Why cant she go around him while I hold his lead? Ugh! Anyway that is the only problem we had the whole time they were happy and walked well.There were even two off leash dogs and Max and Jacobi didn't bark or act scared or aggressive they wagged an sniffed and then when I said lets go they came!
We are lucky to live in the historic district of our town Where there are so many Beautiful buildings! to look at we live right down town so we are two blocks from the center of town. So that's where I walk we have beautiful parks to. I took them to walk in them but we don't have a dog park here we do have a dog beach but it is about 10 miles. So we had a nice Beautiful long walk that was a lot of fun. I am amazed at how well they behaved. I am going to take them on a 2 hour walk everyday because that is what I myself take. I will also take them to the park and of course we always play in the back yard!
So here is link to our Walk and some pictures of our back yard you would never think we lived in the city it is so big!

Yes I did! I love down town and I love all the old buildings.I lived out of town for 3 years so it is nice to finely come back.
I LOVE the pictures. They are very pretty. Everything down here is much newer. There are a few districts that are historic, but they are a drive away.
I agree with you about the lady being rude. If there was no problem, there was no reason for comment. Oh well. It's kind of like the random people who come up to me (still - and Duncan is 8.5 months old) and ask me what is wrong with my Collie, why did I shave him (puppy fur, people, puppy fur), or why is he away from his mother so young... *sigh* Oh well, right?
Thank you for the glimpse into your lovely walk. I hope every day goes as swimmingly.
