Aaron and I like to get out of the building at lunchtime, so today we drove to Brookside park to soak in some of the sun. If you've ever been to Brookside, you might know that the road curves around the baseball fields. (We were parked along the side of the fields - for reference.) We saw a car approaching, but there's a short stretch where you can't see the car because of the trees. We were sort of car-watching, similar to people-watching, but different, so when the car didn't appear after the trees, we wondered what was going on, because there's nowhere to park in that area.
Then we saw the car slowly creeping forward. We had no idea what they could be doing, until about 30 seconds later when we saw 2 dogs trotting behind the car. She just kept idling along with the dogs walking behind her. She turned the corner, sped up and turned around, met back up with the dogs, who also turned around, and they went slowly back down the side. Then she stopped, got out and opened the back door, and the dogs climbed in.
It was apparently this woman's version of dog walking. Now, walking our boys isn't the most fun ever, because they are big and they pull and they get easily excited and run circles around us sometimes. My calves hurt for 4 days last week because of all the resistance from Nick pulling on his leash, but I would never "walk" them via a car. I guess "to each their own" though.
