Light Rail
The dogs experience
the approach of the train, boarding, and riding on a train. Once on
board, they tuck under the seat or sit quietly beside their raiser in
order to make room for other passengers. All of our puppies handled
these experiences beautifully.
|
Waiting for the train.
|
Here it comes!
|
|
|
|
|
Boarding the light rail can be tricky. Make
sure to control the puppy, and don't let it drag you up the steps!
|
|
|
|
Bombay tucks under LeKathryn's legs, while Emmett and Akira make
themselves comfortable further down the car.
|
Lynda explains the puppy raising project to an interested fellow
traveler,
while Akira patiently waits.
|
|
|
|
Ferrari has no qualms about riding the train.
Doesn't he look dapper in his raincoat?
|
|
|
|
|
At 4 months old, Alexi can easily fit under the light rail seats.
|
Six-month-old Akira has no trouble squeezing in between everyone's feet.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps sitting up is a better solution for Emmett. Tonya's lap makes a
comfortable head rest.
|
.
Year-old Emmett has a tighter fit in his efforts to tuck under.
|
|
|
|
End of the line! Raisers wait at the Union Station terminus for a
mall bus to take us to the 16th street mall.
|
LeKathryn and Bombay wait with another puppy raising pair, as the
bus drives up.
|
|
|
|
Boarding the bus is just the same as the light rail,
only the steps aren't quite so steep!
|
Cougar, Marty, and Alexi relax at their raiser's feet while the mall
bus whisks us on our way.

DOWNTOWN
DENVER - 16th STREET MALL
The puppies experience crowds, traffic, street cafes,
pet dogs, and more in the heart of the Mile High City.
|
Ilka &Lauren, Marty and Kelsey, and Ferrari and Wendy
wait to be assigned to a group for the mall phase of the outing. |
Carmen instructs the group about our goals for the evening.
|
|
|
|
|
LeKathryn and Bombay, and Wendy and Ferarri are happy to be underway!
|
|
|
|
Carmen's group waits to cross the street.
Lynda & Akira reach the sidewalk on the other side.
|
Tonya and Emmett and Kate and Alexi make their way across.
|
|
Many of our suburban dogs have never seen a horse before! |
Akira doesn't mind meeting the huge animal.
|
|
|
|
|
Alexi isn't so sure about this...
|
But Kate takes the time Alexi needs to feel
more confident about the situation.
|
|
We finished up at Sonic Burgers for some ice cream.
Emmett waits as Tonya orders.
|
Emmett & Marty tuck under as best they can while Tonya, Wendy
and Kelsey enjoy their treats.

& Ferrari (b-lab, behind) and Lauren & Ilka
head to Union Station to catch the light rail for the trip back home.
