Family Walk

Work was a lot today, and tomorrow we're down a couple folks so that should be extra busy. One of my colleagues is coming to visit and on Friday we're going to connect at the office. Looking forward to meeting his wife and son. 

It's funny, a couple years ago we had an open position on the team and I thought of him. I called and said, "Hey, T. We have an opening on the team and I was wondering if ---"

"Yes." he replied.

"But you don't even know what the job is, can I tell you wha ---" 

"Yes, I want to apply for the job. Yes." 

And they hired him. I was so happy. And he's SO SMART and talented, and I'm so glad he's on our team. I can't imagine life without him. He's the best. 

So Friday will hopefully be a great day. They're going to the zoo in the morning, and will get to the office around 1. Lunch, chat, visit, and then probably head home. 

After dinner, it's finally light out enough to take a walk. It was well after 7pm when Doug suggested. I was ready to take one dog and come back for the other, or, have him take one and me take one and we both go different directions. 

But he wanted a family walk. So okay yes. 

They do much better when we go our separate ways, but it wasn't too incredibly bad. I usually walk a lot faster, but they kept crossing in front of each other and the leashes kept getting tangled. I had suggested a dual leash/harness but Doug thinks that implies permanence of Dahlia, and I have a hard enough time controlling one of them if they see a bunny or a bird or a cat... So he's kind of right. 

Didn't take a picture of them walking but they were cute, shoulder to shoulder. And I tell ya... I'm doing much better walking and going, and keeping up with Doug. All these steps and 10k+ days. Hell yeah. I even suggested we walk up another block before turning home (mostly because Pokemon) and he was the one ready to go home. I feel like that's a victory.
