Just in from a W*A*L*K

If you have ever lived with a dog, you know what I mean by spelling the word W A L K .
My friend Larry stopped by with his 2 little girls, Kaitlyn (almost 5) and Megan (3), and their beautiful new nanny Kris (from Brazil). The girls got to watch me put Precsh's diaper on, her sweater on ("dogs don't wear clothes"), and put her into her dog wheelchair ("is that her seat belt?"),("what is the leg for?"). And then, "LOOK SHE IS WALKING!" The dog is walking :) Precsh was happy to see them all, and ran ahead of the girls. I think she was proud and showing off. Precsh and I walked with them over to the Boston Children's Museum. They were such good sweet little girls today. We left them off at the museum and then continued our usual walk down the Fort Point Channel, to the Boston Harbor, around the Federal Courthouse, Fan Pier, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, and then back again. Precious loves to say "hi" to people as they pass, and most of them have questions about why she is in a dog wheelchair. I feel like I need a a sign that says "She has a disease that would be similar to Lou Gehrig's Disease." But actually, this is one of few ways people actually talk to you in Boston, as they are usually hard nuts to crack. The usual comments are "awww," "poor dog," "she's doing really well!," "good for you," "you are a good mom." And you know what? That I am ... a good dog and kitty mom ... :)
