A special walk

Our poor Beckett is getting old. We finally feel like we are walking an old dog when we walk Becks. He is still as excited as ever to go on a walk, but he slowly trudges along down the street to the coffee shop or around the block. It is a real exercise in patience for Daniel and I, who prefer to at least feel like we are getting a little exercise on a walk. We have given up taking him on any longer walks or adventures. Everyday it's around the same block or up and down the same street to Cooper's for Daniel's morning coffee. Last weekend we decided to take Beckett on a special walk, I thought he needed some excitement in his life, so we headed to Sauvie Island. We had been up there in the fall to visit the pumpkin farms and had taken him on a walk at Wapito Park, so we headed back there. He had a very nice walk, smelling all the new smells, and getting all muddy and dirty. He was happy and got all worn out.
