We made it.

I haven't been home all that much lately, and been feeling really bad that I haven't been there for my dog, Guillermo. So, today I decided we needed to take a walk together. Although Cassie's apartment is kinda far for him to walk, I figured it would be good exercise for him. All in all it's about a seven block walk. The first two of those blocks are up a pretty steep hill.

I case you don't know, Guillermo has an underdeveloped cerebellum, which causes him to walk all wobbly and sometimes fall down. This combined with the heat made it pretty difficult for him. He was doing good, but panting really hard about halfway there. He wanted to stop a couple times so we took some rest stops and I let him recover a little. When there was only about a block left I didn't think he was gonna make it, but I made him press on

By the time we got to Cassie's she already had a pan of water waiting for him. I brought it outside and let him drink it on the grass. Then brought it inside for him.


He wouldn't lay down for a while, but when he finally did, he didn't wanna get back up.


How far his tongue is hanging out of his mouth is a pretty good indicator of how tired he is. As you can tell here, he was tired to say the least.



It was really hot and I felt kinda bad for the li'l guy, but we had fun as always. Needless to say, we'll be getting a ride back home.
