Walking the Dogs

Sophia and her girl, Fluffy

Sophia got this Fur Real dog from Santa Claus and she is so in love with her. In her pitch to me when she originally saw it and wanted me to buy it for her, she threw in the fact that we could walk our dogs together and then everyone would get good exercise. Who can resist that logic?! So, since she opened her she's been begging for a walk. Me, knowing how much patience would be required for this activity, has been avoiding it! ;) Anyway, I finally caved. First off, poor Walter. He was all kinds of jazzed for a walk that just turned into walking a few steps, stopping. Walking a few steps, stopping. Going backwards a lot of steps, helping to fix Fluffy, going forward a little bit more and then stopping again. This went on for a solid hour. I should get an award.

Sophia was very proud of herself however and Fluffy certainly did get a lot of exercise! All in all, it's a pretty cute toy, I just wish it walked better. It does an okay job inside, but the roughness of the sidewalks drove her off the edge every few feet.
