ReplyDeleteLove it . 4 paw drive!
DeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteMolly seemed fine with this new fangled walking too!
DeleteSeems like you are doing "coping," in the face of possible disaster on your border.

I'm finding the positive. The family is safe, the kids are happy, the dogs are walked, coffee and people watching is still a favourite pastime

They would need to be on the scooter with someone running alongside....not you!!
DeleteTHat looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun.
ReplyDeleteThe girls love scootering and it's great now the roads are empty. In summer that beach road is very busy. Not a place for a scooter
DeleteThey need a bigger scooter, then the dog could have joined them. Poor thing; made to walk.
