I took the dogs for walks this weekend… Lance was too lazy and watched sport instead

Yesterday we went to a park close to the house, that’s known as a dog walking park. It’s really overgrown with long veld (grass) and overgrown jungle gyms at the moment (they do cut the grass randomly). And it was a perfect spot for them.
They were a little hesitant at first, and the first time they walked through the long veld they both sneezed (was too cute), but they loved it. We (me and the boys and the dogs) had the place to ourselves apart from one other mom teaching her kids how to ride their bikes. So it was perfect.

Today however was a different matter entirely. Bradley and I (Connor was napping) took the dogs for a walk around the block. It was such a different experience. They were petrified! They both froze everytime we walked past a house with a barking dog, and once or twice Kitara actually started running in the opposite direction. In fact, I had to carry them past 2 houses!! And they’re HEAVY now!!!
Anyhoo, after we got past most of the big dogs, they started enjoying it and we were actually running with them

But now, Lance reckons she’s traumatised… she’s wimpering in her sleep. Poor mutt
I told him he has to take them for a walk every day now… and to start… this week it has to be the park.
