Walking the dogs Monday Feb 25th


Today looks like it is going to be another nice day. I start off the day at the Costco gas station. I have to feed the BWB bus. As I am pumping gas I get a phone call from Corky who is Bodies grandma. She says that she would like to join us today for our walk. It seems that Bodie has been acting up over the weekend when he went on a walk around Greenlake. I tell her that would be great if she joined us, we agree to meet at noon.
First dog to pick up today is Willis the Boston Terrier. I arrive to get Willis and he is excited as always to go on the walk today. Next stop is the two labs named Napa and Vegas. When I pull down the driveway Penny is getting them ready in the house. When they come outside they are jumping all over and can't wait to get into the bus. I go and pick up Lucy the Chocolate Lab as I turn down her street I see her mom and her locked in a sit stay. I am so proud! I invite Lucy into the bus and it is off to get Sarah and Cosmo. Once Sarah and Cosmo get into the van we are off to get Kalley. We are stopped short of Kalley's house by some road construction happening right in front of her house. Then it is off to get Koby who bustles into the bus with no problems. Now we have to go and get Madeline the Min Pin. Once she is in the bus we are off to get Bodie and meet Bodie's grandma Corky. Once we meet them I talk to Corky while Sarah helps me handle the other dogs on the walk. She does a great job as we walk around the neighborhood park for over an hour. When we finish I wish Corky a good day and I take Bodie with me in the van so he can play while I drop off the other dogs. Everyone winds down on their way home and I love the calm that overcomes the van. I cannot wait to do it again tomorrow.

Walking the dogs Friday Feb 22nd


Fri, Feb, 22nd

What a beautiful day for a walk. Cedar, Gracie and I started the day around 9am. My neighbor stops by this morning and drops off her dog Fresca. I load her into the van with my dogs and we are off. First stop Bruno the Labradoodle. Then its off to get Willis the Boston Terrier. After I pick up Willis I head over to pick up Napa the Chocolate Lab. Napa's house mate Vegas who is also a Lab comes along for the walk today. Now its off to get Lucy for the walk. Lucy is excited but listens very patiently to her mom as she givers her the command to wait before entering the BWB bus. After picking up Lucy I pick up my apprentice in training Sarah and her dog Cosmo. Then it off to get Kobe who is very happy to see the big bus. Now we have to get Bodie the happy go lucky 9 month old Golden Retriever. After picking up Bodie we still have two more dogs to get. We pick up Madeline the Min Pin and she is hopping all over the place in joy as I try to get her collar on her. Finally we are off to get our last dog Mazzy the Black Lab. After we grab Mazzy we head to Magnuson Park for our walk. The walk started out as most do. The dogs are excited and are going crazy and take a few minutes to mellow out and get into the "walking zone" where they are calm with their heads up and ears back. We walked around the park for over an hour then we headed back to the van and started the trip home. I always love the trip home because all the dogs are calm after their walk.
