We had our first walk about with Oliver's new stroller.  He seemed
pretty comfortable about the whole thing and didn't dive into the
"privacy" area at all.  He did crouch down a time or two when we saw a
car (he is terrified of automobiles except if he is riding in one) but
he seem to realize pretty quickly that he was safe so he just rode along
looking at everything.  I was pushing so couldn't see his reactions but
it was pretty cute.  As I am pushing I noticed that his ears popped out
of the mesh and were like little periscopes turing this way and that.

Boone, our Lab was very excited about the whole thing.  He just seemed
beside himself with joy that Oliver was with us.  I guess being a dog he
is happiest when the whole family is together.  He kept running ahead
(on his leash) and then doubling back to give Oliver kisses.  When we
saw another dog or person Boone would give a bark and prance around the
stroller like "Hey, look at my little brother!"  It was very funny.

When we got home and I opened the carrier Oliver got out and was sort of
low to the ground and a little wobbly.  I wonder if he got a little
motion sick.  After several big yawns and a drink of water he seemed
fine again.  We'll take it slow and build him up to long walks.  It will
be interesting to see if he goes enthusiastically or not for the second
walk.
