Nighttime
Walking the dogs in the evening is especially fun. Things are calmer then with only the occasional bicycler or fellow dog walker. Nothing feels rushed and we plod along on one of our familiar routes and know that we'll get wherever we're going when we get there. It's all part of the wind down into night.
I stand on the front steps and take the leash and collar off of Demi. "Go home," I say, and she rushes through the door. Brix is less predictable, he gets indoors first and then the leash is removed. Five minutes later they are both asleep, weary from our walk even if it only lasted 20 minutes.
A tired dog is a good dog. That's what we were taught in puppy training classes.

Evening walks are so sweet, and it sounds like you have great canine company. I hope you're well these days, Barbara!
