Holy Cow! or is it horse, or bunny, or bird, or cat....oh heck, I don't know! My nose can't take it all in. This is great!
The walk down to the road is uncomfortable. There are these big, hard, lumpy things that we walk on and then there are some that are small and get in between my toes. They hurt, but it's worth it. The human tries to guide me to the grassy area, but when I try to go into the high grass she pulls me back, so I walk on the lumps. I think it makes her feel bad. Although it's wrong for me to be manipulative, I just can't help it. Sometimes I will kick my feet out and look back at her with a pathetic look. It makes me laugh a little inside.
Next door there are these really big animals. They walk on all fours like a dog, but I don't think they are dogs. Whatever they are, I feel sorry for them because I've seen humans put a big seat on them and then get on their backs. After they mount up, they kick their sides and yell giddy up. I just can't imagine how degrading that must be. But they seem to enjoy the interaction with the humans, so I guess to each his own. What I really like about them is their tails. They are long and swishy and it makes me jealous. All I have is a little nub.
Two doors down from the grandparent's house is the County Youth Park. Most of the time I don't like this place because it's loud. Today though, there were big trucks and trailers and little humans. This one little human really liked us and was waving his hand and smiling. I really like little humans. They remind me of my life before coming to live with my current human. But, I don't like to talk about that.
On our way back, I saw something shooting out of the ground way off in the distance. It was freaky and threatening, so I stopped and gave it my best low growl. The human kind of giggled, which really confused me that she would giggle when I was trying to protect her. So, to show her how serious I was, I gave it another really deep growl. And then she said, "It's a water fountain, Goober!" as she continued to giggle. I'm not sure that it was necessary to laugh at me, much less call me a Goober, but I like her laugh and smile, so I will tolerate it.
Speaking of the human smiling, there were these big things in the sky. They had lots of colors and made a loud noise. There were humans in them, which kind of freaked me out, but the human said that she's always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon. So, I guess they are called hot air balloons. Just for the record, I love her, but I sure don't want to go on that adventure with her. Maybe another human will join her.
Overall, this was a great walk. And the best part was at the end, after we made it back in the house and drank some water. Granddad (who really isn't my granddad, he adopted me just like my human did) woke up and I really, really like him. I got so excited, probably too excited, because the human had to get the water bottle. I hate that water bottle, but that's a story for another time. For now, I am going to go take a nap and dream of all those smells on our walk today.
