We got 2 walks separate walks today. Both times Chimmie made it all the way without being carried. Way to go little buddy! I remember when I had to be carried on the shorter walks too. Usually Thursdays are really hard for Linda. She is home tonight with us because her car was not cooperating this morning. There was a bad smell and white smoke coming out from under the hood. She was afraid to drive it to her evening classes just in case it blew up or something. The mechanic man could not find anything really wrong. Since there were leaves underneath the hood, he said a little mouse or something might have been trying to make a nest in the warm engine. They can chew some wires while they are under there making their home. It might have also been some leaking coolant or oil. Plus, the battery tested in the "low"range. He said if it is under 25 degrees, it won't start. The smoke could have been from a leaky battery, but Linda said she never heard of that. We need a good mechanic. (Since she did not get a picture of the smoke, I googled "smoke coming out of car hood" to get a good photo. This is what came up.)
