Jessica's Grandma, and Baby's Great Grandmother, bought Jessica and myself an awesome stroller/car seat combo. We were excited to get it because we wanted to do a test run with the dogs walking next to the stroller. It is really important for us to keep a good routine with the dogs as the baby enters our life. At first we were a little nervous that the dogs would be yanking and unwilling to walk next to the stroller but as soon as we got outside the dogs were walking right next to the stroller like they had been doing it their whole lives. After about 1 minute I handed all the dogs to Jess and she pushed the stroller AND walked all three dogs for about 2 miles....LIKE A CHAMP! I just walked next to her with my hands in my pockets. As she walked other people walked by, ran by, biked by, pushed strollers past, walked their dogs past, and the dogs just trotted right next to Jess perfectly behaved. There was no tension on the leashes, as if she wasn't even walking one dog let alone 3 dogs! Every now and again she would stop and let them sniff around so they got their time in too. Everything was perfect and I feel like that was a best case scenario!
After watching that I am really proud of the dogs for being so good. It makes me even more confident that our PACK will grow by one very comfortably and without many ripples in the routine.
Until next time...
