He raises his back, and walks on his tippy toes.

I go almost every Saturday with my little Luke/Lloyd. We started this routine just before Cheyenne died, so she got to go for a few weeks too. Luke/Lloyd is making a lot of friends and getting lots of exercise. In this picture Luke/Lloyd is running between his two friends Kyla and Henry. Notice how all 3 dogs only have one paw on the ground. Kyla is one of Pam Nisson's dogs. Pam and I usually meet at the dog park with our dogs. So it's double the fun!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8906959902378690367-2673771082192191703?l=kimclingersblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kimclingersblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2673771082192191703/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8906959902378690367&amp;postID=2673771082192191703' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8906959902378690367/posts/default/2673771082192191703'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8906959902378690367/posts/default/2673771082192191703'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kimclingersblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/dog-park.html' title='Dog Park'/><author><name>Kim Clinger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14778021128585674119</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_jQJqHbtceNw/R_LEhvG9-uI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/-l-eUCA4reU/S220/Skype+Photo+-+bright.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jQJqHbtceNw/SAjVZq6BpmI/AAAAAAAAAAc/5-9V74Fqy2o/s72-c/DSC00314+Kyla+Luke+Henry+dog+park+3-8-08.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906959902378690367.post-8649645832165734312</id><published>2008-04-01T17:07:00.001-06:00</published><updated>2009-09-05T23:46:47.735-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Just getting started...</title><content type='html'>Doesn't everybody blog now?
