A Walk with Sonny

A wonderful dog named Sonny hangs out in the lobby of the hotel during the day. He is a retired guide dog and belongs to someone who works at the hotel. He can be "booked" to take walks with guests and is happy to greet people as they come and go.

We managed to book a time to walk Sonny one morning during Jacob's nap. Logan seems to love dogs. He had a little bit of experiencing walking my friend Heidi's dogs and his Grandma and Grandpa Miller also have a dog which he loves. Needless to say, he was very excited.

Waiting for the elevator.

I didn't really know what to expect but when we arrived in the lobby we were greeted by Sonny and picked up his leash and a little bag, "just incase". (I quickly realized that I'm ok with changing baby diapers, even poopy cloth ones but cleaning up after a dog, I wasn't to keen on...thankfully, we didn't need the bag). They told us of Sonny's "usual" route and off we went.

Sonny certainly knew the way and led Logan off behind the hotel and by the lake. He was quite a strong dog but Logan was able to keep up quite well.

Starting off on our walk.

Sonny did lots of sniffing.

You can see how happy Logan was in this picture.

Logan checking out what all the sniffing was about.

Taking a break by the water.

I love this picture.

Logan talked to Sonny the WHOLE time.

"Sonny, what YOU doing?"
"Sonny, you sniffing?"
"Sonny, you going pee, AGAIN?"
"Sonny, you so silly."
"Sonny, come back here."
"Oh, Sonny"

Some more sniffing...

Not a bad place to take a walk :)

Back in the lobby, having a drink.

Saying goodbye.

Good friends.

The other night Scott was out for a walk with the boys and they saw a dog that looked like Sonny. Logan said "Look Daddy! It's Sonny!" Too cute.
