I haven’t walked Hoshi since August. This morning my foot wasn’t feeling too bad so I walked Hoshi to the corner–not far but better than nothing. I’ll try to walk him every day now.

I won’t be walking for a while but I wanted to tell you about someone who Hoshi is very afraid of. The Big Boy! There’s a restaurant near my house called Big Boy. Every time we walk by Hoshi goes bonkers and warns me about the dangerous big boy by barking his head off. Even after we pass by Hoshi keeps looking back to make sure he’s not following us.

I was walking Hoshi before I left for work. Hoshi was doing #2 on my neighbor’s grass. The neighbor opened his window and said, “Excuse me! What are you doing!?” I held up my grocery bag and said, “I’ll pick it up.” I said it as friendly as I could. He said, “Never mind. Get going. ” Well, I picked it up and left. We’ve lived here 13 years and this was our 1st encounter. I think he moved in his parents’ house during that time.

I just walked Hoshi. I was reading the forum on my Droid when Hoshi pulled me by the leash. I figured it was a bunny or a cat. It was a skunk in someone’s front yard! This thing was not shy in the least! It actually started heading towards us then walked away . It’s almost like it was taunting Hoshi to come at him so it could spray us. Hoshi wanted to chase it so badly. He kept crying the whole time.
