The Walk

The husband and I took all three dogs for a walk yesterday. The day was beautiful with a high of 65. Our walk started at 6:30 pm. I took Chip and Shelley. The husband took Zeus or the Z man as the husband calls him. Zeus broke his Halti collar the night before. With just his slip collar he was rearing to go. We got to the cul de sac and all three dogs had the mandatory poop. We picked all these up and proceeded on the walk. A neighbor walking his dog went by on the street below. Zeus twisted his neck right and left. Bingo he was out of his collar and running down the street after the dog and neighbor. The husband stood there with a collar, a leash, and a bag of poop. He turned around and walked back to the house. I took the two dogs still in their collars and leashes in search of Houdini/Zeus. We found Zeus running around having the time of his life. Chip and Shelley enviously watched him pee on every bush/tree he could find. Zeus followed us back to the house but at his pace. Meaning no where near us even as I called his name. The husband pulled up in the van. Zeus was checking out a neighbor's garage. The husband called his name while opening the van's side door. Zeus hopped in the van. The husband rode him around a few streets so Zeus would always get in the van. I walked Chip and Shelley home. I knew they were thinking that Zeus ran off and got a van ride. But they don't remember all the times they ran out of the electric fence and barked for us to pick them up in the van. They didn't mind the shock coming out. Just didn't want a shock going back in. That was the gist of the husband and wife dog walk. Stay tuned for the highlights of next weeks walk.
