Taking a "walk" with our owners turns out to be quite challenging! They have no interest in walking at our pace at all but keep pulling and tugging on our "umbilical cords" (an expression I picked up watching spacewalks on the NASA channel!) to make us walk this way and that. Poor souls, they even have to color code the cords so that they know which of us they are connected to (check out the picture!).
Since we are very sensing creatures we know when a dog has walked on "our" sidewalk recently. We even know which one, leading to varying levels of excitement on our part. We really like all people and all dogs but just have a little more difficulty in getting along with some than others. Eventually though I think we will be just fine.
