Mucous boy and the dog walk
Ashton has an awful cold. I never knew so much mucous could come out of something so small. He seems to be dealing with the issue by not sleeping. We’re running a humidifier and a Vick’s vaporizer to help him at night.
Despite being sick I took him outside when I got home today. He had been cooped up for too long. He wanted to take the dogs for a walk, something he’s never done before and, to my knowledge, hasn’t seen us do more than once or twice. So I bundled him up like an Eskimo and let him take Bock’s leash. I took Honey’s.
It was the cutest thing ever. The first quarter of the walk Bock was practically dragging Ashton behind him and they were running the whole way. Toddler’s even run cute. The next quarter of the walk Bock got tired and Ashton didn’t. So the tables turned and Bock had to try to keep up with Ashton.
The second half of the walk was calmer. Everybody had gotten their respective bursts of energy out of their systems and we proceeded at a more normal speed. The best part of pairing Bock and Ashton together is that anytime one of them would get distracted I could just say “Come on!” and the other one would drag the first one along.
Ashton got tired near the end so I picked him up and carried him while walking both dogs. You’d think that would be difficult but everybody behaved and it was surprisingly easy.
