The Pavilion, Take 2

The Pavilion, Take 2
At a nearby shopping center there is a walking path that Henry has been to a time or two. We took him there right before the time change and we did not beat the darkness. As we walked, night fell hard upon us. Even though Henry clocked his head once real good on a picnic bench and crashed into a high curb we still considered this walk a success. Since there was minimal daylight we did not get photos.
Well, we went back to this path this weekend and had Henry pose for the camera. He got a little bored of this (hence the yawn photo) but eventually he gave a blog worthy photo. The path is about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile long and Henry walked the whole thing! It is extra wide which allows him to do his stagger walk without huge threat of falling off the edge the sidewalk. There are some grassy areas that he enjoys and ample bushes that he appreciates the opportunity for releasing urine upon.
In Henry's heyday, he was a "one way" type of guy. If you went one direction, you could not expect to bring him home the same way. So, we always had to find "loops" so that he could do the complete circle since we knew we could not go up to point A and back the same path (even if on opposite sides of the street he would know it was the same way home).
We started to wonder now.....was Henry getting this way with not being able to go to the same PARK TWICE?! It seemed his new favorite was Doris Leeper but then when we took him there the second time it was an epic fail. So, we wondered if not only could he not take the same way up and back could he not even repeat a loop?! We were thankful to realize that this was not the case as he has successfully navigated the Pavilion path twice in a row! So, Doris Leeper day was more of an off day.

Yay Henry he does look happier in the picture
Yay, Henry! Love the yawn photo, too.
#Henry’sGoodDay. I do believe Henry is trying to adjust to his new way of life and this was a good example. It may not always be thus, but bless his beautiful heart, he has spirit.
What a sweet boy. I just love that yawn photo! #HenryStrongAllDayLong

love to read he had a good day. xo
See that…we ALL have our off days! You go Henry:)
Excellent news! And isn’t it just like we all thought? Henry (and his “not the same way”)is just waay smarter than all of us!! #HenryRocksAYawn
Henry is a strong-willed Pug for sure. I think he’s related to my CoCo somehow!
So many similarities… Glad he’s enjoying his adventures!
It’s funny to hear of Henry’s little particular likes/dislikes. I guess it makes sense if he’s going all on smell. We wouldn’t read the same newspaper twice
Pavilion Path X 2 = No sweat for Henry!
Luv the yawn pic.
I am so happy that it was a good walk for Henry! I love your description of him as being a one-way guy!
Our Bennie is also a one-way guy, and I have had to devise ways to cut through people’s yards to make a loop that is short enough to be good for him, but doesn’t violate his very important rule that we NEVER backtrack!
