We decided that today we would take him to my parent's where there are some wide open spaces and see how that went. Harnessing him was no problem. Outside for multiple potties was fine - getting in the car - not so great. He does make a fuss. Once he is in the car he is okay...today we managed to make it round trip with no accidents in the car so that's good. Once we got there he was not in a hurry to get out of the car and hubs had to lift him out which was noisy and unpopular.
All the car drama aside Winston loved going to a place where he could root around and play in the dirt. We weren't sure what to expect if we took him off the leash so we strategically positioned ourselves in a triangle with the hopes we could keep him somewhat contained - we totally didn't need to at all. Piglet was fantastic about staying with us and heading to us whenever he was called....he does way better at that than the dog (don't tell Emma I said that).
Speaking of Emma - we did take her with us but there were hunters shooting in the distance and she didn't like the noise so she opted to go inside and spend some time with Quincy instead of playing outside with us.
We had more car drama getting him in the car to head home and getting out of the car in the driveway. Since we got home little Mister has been sacked out - he really wore himself out running around like a crazy pig. If we can figure out a way to make the car part less dramatic we could take him out each weekend to run around and burn off some energy. Maybe we will try his piggy stairs.....
Here are a few snaps from today:
