We made it back to the end of Dyckman Fields this morning, a new resting spot for Griffin where he evidently finds his zen. Griffin would like for you to please note the flower he is sporting in this photo!
Today’s stroll was still leisurely, but we made the 2 mile round-trip in about 1.5 hours (30 minutes less than yesterday), with lots of rest stops along the way, usually caused by people wanting to say hello to him. Griffin was always a people magnet before, but now people are curious about his life as a tripawd. Some of the comments are silly (“He only has one leg!” and after being corrected, the person sheepishly replied, “I meant only 1 in the front.”), many are pitying (which I quickly shut down with “He still has one more leg than we do!”), and all are in awe of how well he is adapting and thriving. Some dog parents are hesitant to allow their large or rambunctious pups to play with Griffin for fear of hurting him, but they quickly see that he can hold his own and still put rowdy puppies in their place!
Our longer walks definitely wear out Griffin and he spends the majority of the day napping. The photos below are from yesterday and today.
Enjoy your daily dose of Griffin zen! xoxo Stacy

I love your boutonnière, Griffin! SO dapper!
What a beautiful day to take an ambassador stroll around the hood. Keep on showing all those surprised people that life on 3 can be just fine. Great job!
And yeah Stacy you’ll start to think of all kinds of comebacks to things people say. I can’t wait to read about your others.
