But it is relaxing for Teddy to be pushed, especially along the riverfront where there is an endless stream of boats. We also detoured to the train bridge and got to watch a train go past, and then walked an extra half mile at the end to avoid the mean seagull that was dive bombing us and almost pooped on Teddy. Jerk pigeon.
Teddy had a rough listening day and ended up with hurt feelings, timeouts and not nearly the fun he could have enjoyed. So I took advantage of a group run with Running Water City to change his mood and ensure we both had some form of fun tonight. Again, it's a twisted version of fun for me, but it was worth it to allow him to enjoy the time out and about and for both of us to enjoy the patio at the brewery afterward.
Fifth Ward is my favorite brewery, and I actually got to sit for about 15 minutes at the table while Teddy chilled with his popcorn until he decided the couch looked like a better seat. He tried to invite my friends to join him, but they couldn't "hear" him looking at them and pointing at the couch. So he had to go back (after about 5-10 minutes of trying) and physically show them what he wanted.
Someone was very happy to be at the table with his popcorn. |
Thank goodness for friends who enjoy Teddy's company, who rebuckle him in his chair, who grab popcorn for me, who walk back to our vehicle with us and buckle him in and just make it as easy as it can be to enjoy a post-run beer with Teddy.
