Lights and Leashes Dog Walk





It was a glorious night.  No rain, lovely moon.  Felt like Papa was watching out for us again.  We dressed in layers.  I had gotten some winter undergarments for playing in the snow so we used those.  We had gloves and hats and a huge soft scarf that passed around us.
We started off getting some dinner at Shari's.  Every one behaved.  And then we headed to PIR for the Lights and Leashes Dog Walk.  There are a couple of nights where you don't drive the PIR but walk it.  This is one and every one is welcome to bring their dog.  We opted not to bring our dog and just meet other folks' dogs. 
We estimated that each little met about 200 dogs and they were in their element.  They asked every time.  There were a few shy dogs but mostly just friendly people loving furballs.  The favorites seemed to be the little dogs.  Me, I like the big ones. 
The track is about two miles long and that is a long walk for kids.  But they did it.  I heard a couple complaints near the end but once we were back in the crowd everything was fine.  We lost a shirt along the way.  They got warm and took off jackets for a bit and the little man took off his shirt.  I was carrying it and have no idea when it got dropped.  The little man wanted to go back but I declined.  Who knows how far back it was and his legs were already a bit tired. 
It was a really good activity and they really liked it.  I think the dogs thrilled them more than the lights, but they did enjoy those also.  Another thing I have never done is marked off the list.
