Boggie 3/30/11

Boggie was the best today he has been in a long time. =] We walked for half an hour around the block. Boggie passed a bunch of birds without even looking at them. We saw a Miniature Schnauzer, the dog we are considering getting this fall. We are looking for a cheap puppy Miniature Schnauzer, but we also want it to be a mix, because the Mini Schnauzer's owner told me they are prone to bladder stones and diabetes. It is good to get a mix Schnauzer if it's a pet, because it is cheaper to buy and cheaper to take care of. Diabetes are expensive. Anyways, the dog didn't like Boggie, so I told him to sit and stay while I petted the dog. Boggie was such a good boy and stayed until I came back. Good boy!

The daily ritual is this:
I walk here.
