Pugs, skateboards and razors

Had a great walk with the kids this evening. Met some of Tinsel's "adversaries", namely, pugs, skateboards, and even a kid on his razor!

First came two kids on their skateboards. Tinsel charged at them but I went on. Then back, and again, and again. I chatted up the kids and even asked them to let Tinsel sniff their board. Would have stayed until Tinsel gets tired of skateboards, but then the kids were chased away by the security guards. Oh well, there's always next time.

Then somewhere along the pathway, a kid came racing by in his razor. Woo-hoo! We literally chased after him, until he skated out of sight. Not a big deal since Tinsel's not that concerned with razors anyways.

Finally, on our way back home, our last challenge came along in a small package - a pug, and an off leash one as well. Tinsel has been playing with a group of dogs for a while by then and was feeling quite relaxed, so the pug just walked right pass us without an incident. We followed him for a little while but then it started to rain and everyone just scattered away.

Not bad, not bad at all. I mean, not bad for me as I am beginning to get a hang of this.

Cheers!
