Walking by Wetdryvac, Jain Sycamore
January 12th, 2011 11:34 AMThe goal being to walk this in small segments, as part of the plan to get back on schedule, into shape, and to generally have fun out-of-doors. CPSD = Constitutionals of Periodic Specific Devotion.
Beginning of summer: Much work going on, no time for SF0. Poodle arrives, and is determined to be of the indoor evacuation type. Training begins. Walks increase. None being CPSD, no record taken. Poodle of great disgustingness gets fixed, shots, and the works. The bathroom has lino which can be mopped, so poodle is stored there during breaks from walks.
Months pass. Poodle learns the fine art of not venting indoors.
High Summer: CPSD 3
Taking poodle for walks, photographing footprint evidence, and the vac catches a rabbit by hand - learning in the process that the do in fact scream most horribly when captured, and are not amenable to photographs while being held.
Mid Winter: CPSD 25+
It's been a long while, and more than 25 miles, but I finally realized that averaging times on the floors of various buildings and wandering around campus measured significantly more than 25. Best guess is that campus averages .5 per day or more, and that on my end, with lower distance days abounding, I'm still getting .25 miles ever three days.
...so, a lackadaisical task-finish, but a very happy poodle, who prefers to run in circles in the back yard chasing the laser pointer rather than to be walked on busy streets.
Cemetery walks, with poodle! Right, forgot about them.
Happy accidental success.

On request: Poodle playing in graveyard - I only have shots from behind the graveyard, sadly, but they're now attached.
The cemetary grounds themselves: Cemetary Grounds - feel free to browse the art there, too.
Post-walk poodle
For the walking task, this poodle has been run through graveyards and the fields behind. She rests in this image freshly dirtied.
Poodle Running
Well behind cemetery - one gets here by taking the trails on public land near the interstate which one reaches from the cemetery parking lot. I suspect this trail is used for field management, and that the area is owned by the cemetery for later filling with bodies.
Poodle Drinking
Dirty water, but clean dirt, if that makes sense. Very happy and now somewhat shagged out poodle. This is in an area well behind the cemetery, off the main access road through.
Post-walk poodle
On one of the parking lot stones. I have no images of her near the headstones themselves.

The last time we were out there, we got into an automobile accident on the way back, so one replacement car later... I think I can find the shots.
Eep, sorry to hear it! I'm glad to see happy-poodle photos, though. Thank you!
I want photos of the poodle playing in a graveyard!
