Over the last few years, Boo has slowed down a lot. In Seattle, we did long walks through Seward Park. In Boston, we went on 20 mile training walks through the Emerald Necklace. Today we’re lucky if we make it around the block. Because of some damage to his lower back and thyroid problems, Boo drags his back feet and tires out really quickly. The problem is that he still always wants to go on walks, and it’s hard to tell him no, especially when you have to step over him to get out the door. Since Brian and I have been biking a lot lately, I hit up my sister Katy for her old bike trailer. I picked it up this weekend, and we took it for a spin today.

Boo wasn’t too sure about the trailer, but it seemed to grow on him.

I think he’ll enjoy it more next time.

Take Two

Later in the afternoon, we let Izzy join in. When we got home from a quick ride around the block, neither of them wanted to get out.
