A Car Ride and a Walk

Friday night we decided to take the whole gang for a walk around the Riverview Park loop. This meant we had to take our first ride in the RAV4 together. For safety sake it was muzzles on for the dogs because we didn't know if one dog would get snarky with another in such close quarters. As it turned out they all traveled very well with one another.

Greyhounds enjoy going for walks. Some are able to walk longer than others. Bella had enthusiasm and energy to spare. She really enjoyed all the sniffing and exploring a good walk provide. Plus there is the added bonus of meeting people along the way.

We started on the up hill side of the loop, worked our way down and then back up again. When we got to the bottom, Wavorly was done, but soldiered on bravely. Rio and Bella were still going strong. About 3/4 of the way up Rio had significantly slowed down but Bella was just as energetic as at the start. Grant took Bella for a jog up the hill. She matched his speed with a nice loose leash. This makes us think that Bella would make a wonderful jogging/walking partner for a family who enjoys getting out and seeing the world.
