Aby-a-Day – 2 March: A long walk with a small Pyret (Friday Flashback)

Björn actually trained Pyret to walk on a leash when she was quite young. The above photo was taken when she almost a year old. She was actually well used to travelling when she was younger.

And even when she was older, she enjoyed a walk outside. Kalle and I took her out for a walk shortly after I moved here, just before her 17th birthday.

You can see how eager and excited she is!

Well, she was. She kinda had a “resting bitch face.”

She trotted across the grass with purpose.

Apparently, she wanted to visit her favourite tree.

When she was finished with that, she headed towards the tall grass.

We didn’t let her go too far into that, though.

So she and Kalle walked along the border between the mowed lawn and the tall grass.

She chewed some grass, and then she was done.

She led the way back to the apartment. Well, she had lived there for 10 years at that point, so of course she knew the way.

Sometime between 15:34 and 16:37…Pyret left us. I’m not sure exactly when it happened.

I put her in her favourite place, on her chair. Jacoby checked on her with me.

So did Logan. At one point, he tried to nap with her.

My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today.
