I was soooo excited for my first outing from the shelter that I showed off all my wiggles! We went for a long walk on a trail and I made sure my new friends saw all the lizards and squirrels that I saw, no one let me catch them though. We also saw lots of people and bikes and other dogs. I like other dogs, but I was moreinterested in continuing my sniffies and walking. I really liked my new friends and kept a close eye on them while we walked – one of my friends walked further ahead and I did get a little worried, but she came back! After the walk we rode in the car again and I got in some good relaxing time before I went back to the kennel.What should potential adopters know about me:Vegas is a sweet boy who is very people friendly, attaches quickly, rides well in the car and walks well on leash.
