Time for walkies!

Even though Linus lives at my parents’ house (and I don’t), I still take him for walks sometimes.  Over the past several years, we’ve grown accustomed to “The Châteaux Walk,” as my sisters and I call it.  It’s a route from my parents house that goes by some big, beautiful houses on Sheridan Blvd., Woodscrest Ave., and 24th Street.

In the past couple of weeks, I’ve tried to spice things up a little.  I started putting Linus in the car and driving to new areas of town for walks.  Aside from some panicked moments in the car (Linus doesn’t ride very well, but I think he’s getting more used to it), we’ve had a lot of fun.  I like it because there’s new scenery to look at, Linus likes it because there are so many new and interesting smells.  So far, we’ve tried the bike trail (going south) from Tierra Park, the deserted “hiking” trails in Wilderness Park, and Holmes Lake.

Fellow Lincolnites - do you have any favorite routes I should try?

You should come over to the woods park neighborhood and we can walk our hounds together. I’ve pretty much figured out how to maneuver the stroller while walking a hound that has to stop and sniff every 5 minutes. But, it’s not an exact science. Sometimes nearly all of us fall over.

Seriously, though. It would be fun.

That sounds like fun, Karen! I have to warn you that Linus is not very socialized… but I’d be kind of interested to see if he and Chester could get used to each other enough to take a walk.

Let’s try it sometime soon!
