What's it's like to go on a walk with Onyx

Since you are dying to know, we took Onyx for a walk last night.

This dog is like walking a horse that pulls you the whole way.

She goes where she wants to go, sniffs what she wants to sniff, and (sorry, TMI) poohs more than any other dog I've seen before.

She is a strange one.

But, it was nice to get out on a walk since it is so rare that we ever go, the three of us.

And, before it gets too dark and cold out by the time we get home from work.

And, this dog NEEDS the exersize (as well as Steve and I do too) seeing that she now weighs 88 pounds and should be about 80. I need to work on that.

This is how she starts out. I like the blur of the picture so you can see how fast and hard she pulls you out of the house to the sidewalk.

And, she PULLS...

Until, finally you will get creative with the leash and how you hold it so that it doesn't hurt so much...

And she sniffs...

And, sniffs more....

And, stops for a break about 3 times....

Until, she finally starts getting worn out and I make her pose for a fall picture before the sun is COMPLETELY gone.

When we got to the end of the neighborhood (which took a LONG time), we decided to continue walking to our old apartment where they have the dog park that we used to take Onyx to.

There weren't any dogs but Steve threw the ball to her and she still had fun.

And, she was WORN OUT!

And, then I took her jogging this morning for 2 miles and went through the same thing all over.

So, Onyx and I are on a diet.
