It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood…. so we went for a scooter ride! We scooted over to the bakery to get some bread and cookies…
stopped to check out the creek…
and then scooted up to the park to play and eat those cookies!
It really was a BEAUTIFUL day and I loved getting to enjoy our neighborhood. As I’ve said before, sometimes I feel like we live in Mayberry! The only problem with Mayberry? People like to have dogs…big dogs that bark very loudly and run full force towards Maxwell and scare him TO DEATH. He was scooting along the sidewalk and these two dogs came running out barking so loud and poor Maxwell started screaming the most piercing scream and took off as fast as his little legs could take him. They startled and scared me too! Thankfully, they were stopped by their invisible fence. Maxwell was hysterical and scared and Spencer was screaming too. We made it on up to the park where we had another run-in with a little dog and Maxwell did NOT like that either. He even said to the owner “Shouldn’t he be on a leash?!” Ha! But, true. I have 100% sympathy for Maxwell because I was afraid of dogs as a kid and still am not a dog person in any way, shape or form. People always say “But this dog is so sweet. He wouldn’t hurt anyone!” That doesn’t matter. It’s a phobia just like being afraid of spiders or heights and Maxwell was definitely born with an internal fear of dogs. Needless to say, we’ll never have a pet pooch!
Regardless of the dog run-in, it was still a great afternoon…
and a beautiful day in the neighborhood!
Wow! that was a long distance for little legs! Great job! Yes, dogs should be on a leash – so agree with Maxwell.
Beautiful day indeed. Sorry about the dogs Maxwell.
I find that if I have a stick to walk with that it helps me and it might give Maxwell a little more confidence as well. I know that fear is real, but I hope that he can overcome it.
It looks as if this was a post card day in such a wonderful setting.
