A Boy and his Dog

Christian still has his dog walking job 4 times a week and Peter nearly always joins him.  Up until now, though, Peter has been in a stroller.  This past week, he insisted on walking along and also on holding the leash.  It was absolutely adorable to hear him talk to Coco in his little squeaky toddler voice.  "Stay on path, Coco!" "No Coco, this way!"  "Good Coco."   When Peter got distracted by leaf piles or garbage trucks, it was Coco who kept him in line.  Despite Coco's tiny size, when she pulled on the leash, Peter lunged forward and sometimes got a little ticked that she wasn't going to let him watch the garbage man any longer.  Such a funny dynamic!  The two of them both had a wonderful walk around the block together and neither wanted to go home.
