Katie here. Mama says she’s going to go on something called a Walktober. I was not exactly sure what that was, but I heard the word “walk” and I wanted to make sure I was included. Because mama should never go on any walk without me!
I asked her what a Walktober was and she told me all about Robin’s blog and how everyone was going to take a walk in October and post about it, and then Robin would do a wrap-up post with links to everybody’s walk at the end of the month!
Mama said the dates were originally Oct 1 through Oct 18, but now Robin has extended it to Oct 28!
Mama says she hasn’t decided where she’s going to do her Walktober, but, as usual, I’m way ahead of her. I went on my Walktober last weekend with my friend Deuce and his mom. Oh yea…my mama was there too.
We went to a park I’ve never seen before! Oh my! I do love new places! I guess I get that from mama, who also loves to explore. This new park was in the woods, so there was shade everywhere! And a beautiful river ran right through the middle of it!
I loved being cool while I explored, and I of course loved being in the woods. There were all these beautiful trees, and lovely new smells.
It wasn’t a very big park, so mama and Deuce’s mom decided we’d just go around on the trail twice. I didn’t even notice. I loved being there. I even jumped a log without touching it. Mama said I looked like I was flying.
Then she made me do it two more times because she wanted to get a picture. Figures.
I felt really good on this walk. We walked way over a mile, and I even ran a race with Deuce! He won, but that’s because he’s only 5, just a youngster. And because I let him.
You might not know, but this summer has been so hot that I haven’t really wanted to go on very many walks and mama has been sort of worried about me. But she can tell now that it’s getting a little cooler that I’m feeling much more like myself.
She’s really glad.
I want to say thank you to Deuce and his mom for sharing their park with me. It was the perfect park to do my Walktober and now I want to challenge all of you to get out this month and take a walk. Post about it and link to any of Robin’s posts. She’ll collect them all and everyone will get to come along with you on your walk!
I can’t wait to see your Walktober!

Aren’t they?! They like each other fine in the sense that mostly on the walks we do together they ignore each other. Until the moms make them sit for photos which they tolerate but it’s not their favorite thing to do. I hope you will consider going on a Walktober this month too and letting us come along!

I am a rather private person, I don’t post too many pictures of me or my family -what includes the monkeys (dogs). I walk with them every morning in a nearby park, nothing special there.

We need to do a Walktober, too — but I think we’ll wait until the rains go away. Not that I’m complaining. It’s been so dry here that we really need them! Princess Katie, I love the photo of you flying over that log … and the one with the river. I can totally see myself sitting there for a long time!

It’s hot again here. So on today’s walk up the neighborhood she lagged a bit. Still, there was a nice breeze and I know cooler days are coming. We postponed a big adventure because it was just going to be too hot this weekend. I’m disappointed, but she’s fine with it. She’s very flexible, this girl.
