on the sunnyside of the walk

Taking Dean out of Long House meant taking a yard away from him.  He is such a spoiled guy that he wouldn't even stay in the yard without a human escort.  However, it did provide him with a quick place to do his thing and less effort on my part as I didn't have to walk him for a potty trip.  With Muffin HQ, there's not such much of a lawn to speak of...yet...so I've had to take him on maybe four walks per day.

Leaving the old neighborhood behind also meant abandoning the parks that we've grown used to although it was time to move on.  Before I moved, a Reed security guard (on a Segway no less) asked me to put Dean on a leash at the Reed college dog area and I saw a rat on the way to Kenilworth Park.  That's the universe telling me to move along.  Today, we set out to explore the new neighborhood's parks.  One of them is Sunnyside school.  This won't always work, especially when school is in session, but I always see dogs off their leash in the park behind the school so Dean had his turn there today.

He enjoyed it.  There weren't any trees or squirrels so it may not have been all that thrilling for him but it will do.
