Dog walk

As some of you may already be aware, I have been helping out a lady that had Labrador puppies, 10 of them.  I first met the puppies when they were 7 weeks old.  At 8 weeks old Nick and I took 2 off them (Rebel and Ebony) to the Labour day parade. (See the Labour day parade post for a couple of pictures of them then).  Over the weeks the puppy numbers became less and less as they found new homes to go to.  There are now just 3 left.  Ebony, Dotty and Rosie.

Today we decided to be brave and we took all 3 of them out for a walk together.  We walked them down the main street to the Trans Canada Trail, along the trail for a while and then back.  I can only imagine what we must have looked like from the back, with leads and dogs everywhere.  The pups are not great at walking in a straight line so we had a lot of crossed leads.  I think they were having a competition between themselves to see who could stay at the front for the longest.

We met Nick’s parents at the trail and shared the load a bit.  As the walk progressed the dogs did calm down a little bit and started to walk nicely together, all of their energy had been walked off :-).
