School Daze

Today my husband and I decided to surprise my niece by picking her up at school with Rocco and Molly. Her school is just a few blocks from my house, and it was a beautiful day. A walk with the dogs should have been a great idea.
Well, not so much.
We opened the front door and these two mellow dogs turned into race horses, literally dragging us down the street. They were CRAZED, each trying to walk faster than the other. I don't know where they thought we were going, but wherever it was, they were in a hurry to get there.
I was having flashbacks of my 6th grade 50-yard dash.
We actually had to walk them an extra 2-blocks to try to calm them down so they wouldn't scare the school kids.
By the time that my niece bounded out of school and saw us waiting for her, Molly (although tired and lounging on the sidewalk) had drooled so much she was foaming at the mouth. She looked like a crazed, rabid dog. Poor sweet Molly. The kids were terrified of her. And Rocco, although thankfully NOT drooling, scared them by his size alone.
Notice how no one is near us in the picture? They were crossing the street to get AROUND us.
Too funny!
