Zed - A Nervous Dog

Tried to take Zed for a walk tonight at a local park. He's been to the dog park many times, but this was new. A path, a leash, other activities going on around him. Our walk sadly only lasted about 10 minutes.

First there were the 2 dogs that we passed. He wasn't fazed by them - too much. Then a bike went by - he did have to bark at that. You may recall that Zed freaks out with bikes. A few steps later another bike was coming towards us. I went to tighten up the leash when I realized that Zed's nervous stomach had taken over - several times. Thankfully I had picked up the disposal bags. Unfortunately it didn't clean up the best and it's not supposed to rain for a few days.

I decided to call it a night and head back to the car. I knew Zed wasn't going to make it much further. Nor did I want to have to use another bag! On the way back to the Jeep, Zed got a little spooked by all the activity so he wrapped the leash around my legs. I opened up the back of the Jeep and Zed attempted to jump in - unfortunately he was on a very short leash (since it was around my legs). He hit the edge of the ledge and flipped backwards off of it - he did this 2 times before I finally could get him untangled. Of course then he didn't want to jump up again. We got going for home. I just couldn't stop laughing when I thought about it.

Guess it'll be awhile before we go back to the park for a walk. :)
