Walking The Dogs
There is a special time of day reserved for man and beast only. It it the time I walk the dogs, Kyle, and Katie.
The three of us leave our safe home, heading out into the great unknown of our neighborhood.
Each day we take a slightly different walk around the neighborhood, sometimes turning left instead of right, or going just one more block before deciding to go left. Variety.
The other day we met Felix, a great looking dog who is the same age as Kyle and Katie. Tails were wagging and all three dogs had a great time. Felix may even come over to play sometime.
Sometimes our walks are peppered with great conversations. It’s me that does most of the talking, but Katie and Kyle are attentive listeners, always eager to what I’ll say next. If it were only so with humans. 
Walking the dogs is a good method of exercise for me and them, and they are great fun to watch as they look, and smell, getting familiar with their surroundings.
It’s becoming a part of my day that I greatly look forward to.
