We are not out of winter yet, but Spring walking has started. From time to time I will join someone already out walking, or a neighbor will walk part of my route with me. Today Lisa and dog Rosie came out of their house, walked to the stop sign with me, and came all the way to my house. Rosie got excited, because she adores Shawn, across the street from me.
As we got near, Lisa said she thought Shawn was not up yet. I said, “If we stand here talking loudly, maybe it will wake her up.”
As I walked to my driveway, Shawn’s door opened, and she was waving at us. I had to keep going to stay on schedule, but Lisa and Rosie went in so Shawn could get her “big dog” fix. Sadly, her boxer died recently, so Rosie helps fill the dog section of Shawn’s heart.

More people are out and about walking here too but it’s been a cold and windy week. Next week promises to be more springlike so hopefully, people will come out of their houses!

It was below freezing here this morning. Some people (finger pointed at me) don’t have sense enough to stay inside where they belong.

I like seeing that in writing. I’m not the only one who thinks my neighbors are the best. I wish everyone had excellent neighbors.

It’s very cold here today and few people are out, let alone with their dogs. I’m glad Rosie could provide some comfort for Shawn.

We have warmer weather in the forecast starting next week. Can’t wait. I do indoor exercise when the weather is cold, but love being outdoors.

I love being outdoors, too, but I’d rather be walking than gardening. It’s great that you are enthusiastic.

A bit nippy 🙂 Hope you get to see some snow fairies dancing, but not enough to cause mayhem.

I MAY HEM and haw, but I’ll always look for snow. Went to the creek in the cold, but I had on a fleece top, a sweater, and my NY coat. Toasty warm!

Our Sunday was frigid, but I put on a warm jacket and a hat and set out with Charlie. We try to walk every afternoon in the same place so we have gotten to be familiar with many people and their dogs. It was meeting one dog that let me know that a cocker/poodle mix would be just right for us now. Hence Zoe, our little disruptor.

I would never have thought to shop for a dog by going out walking. Brilliant!

It was a great opportunity to talk to lots of walkers about their dogs and see them in action. We quickly eliminated a lot of popular breeds that way!
