I call this "look" the Jett Pack Look. It consists of Jett (duh!), the Baby Bjorn, the feeding backpack complete with formula, and a poop bag for Kusaba. As you can see, Kusaba is ALREADY distracted by a squirrel in this picture. I spend most of our walk pulling and tugging at his leash because of all the critters that he tries to chase. And then there is the poop pickup...seriously I look like I'm doing gymnastics. With one hand, I hang onto Jett and Kusaba while I bend down, but I can't bend down far because I don't want the backpack to fall forward. When this happens (and it has), the feeding pump starts alarming which requires A LOT more unnecessary work. With my free hand, I take the plastic bag and carefully pick up Kusaba's poop. With that same hand, I tie the bag in a knot (while holding my breath) and attempt to stand back up. All I can say is...I'm thankful for yoga and pilates or else I'm sure that I would have a pulled muscle by now.
Total random side note, but there is an old lady that lives near us who picks up her dog's poop with her BARE hands. Gross.
Okay, back to our walk around the neighborhood. It usually lasts about 30 minutes and by the time we get back home, I am usually sweating profusely and Kusaba is about to pass out. Jett, however, is LOVING every minute of it. He just hangs his little arms out of the Baby Bjorn and soaks in the rays. Once I have taken care of Kusaba's "stuff" and put on hand sanitizer, I really enjoy the walk too. Jett and I hold hands and talk about the leaves on the trees, the cars passing by, and the bugs making funny noises. He gets smothered with lots of kisses because he is conveniently placed right on my chest.
This is precisely WHY I go to this much work to go on our daily walk!
