We took Major to the park for the first time this week now that he’s been properly vaccinated. I’ve been eager to get him walking on a leash, which is dreadfully difficult for coonhounds. (They are consistently tempted to nose a trail, which is like having Doggy ADHD.)
I’m just going to boast a little now because every passerby at the park loved Major. I mean, LOVED him. They asked questions, called him Baby Smokey, allowed their dogs to sniff him and so on and so forth. Major ate it up like celebrity. He wagged his bum and jumped around and licked everyone’s hands. I was a proud mama.
Of course, there was one gentleman who did not stop his walk to pet Major. But he was wearing a Georgia Bulldogs hat, so I’m just going to let that one slide.
Taking Major on walks is essential because this little guy is SUPER DUPER HYPER when he’s awake. It’s no surprise that nighttime is my favorite part of the day when he crawls up in our laps to snuggle and fall asleep.
