Otherwise, it's a pretty good walk. The distance is good; not too much and not too little. And it's super convenient since it's right in our neighborhood.

the Miller loop
We live in the neighborhood called Martin Drive. It's very Milwaukee because it's close to Harley-Davidson and to Miller Brewery. Miller's property actually starts right behind our garage.
When we take Keeley for walks in the neighborhood we usually do a walk that we call "The Miller Loop". We call it that because at the halfway point we cut directly through Miller Brewery.
It's about a 1.5 mile long walk. Keeley is scared of all things on wheels but he does pretty well on this walk even though he encounters lots of semi trucks, buses, and motorcycles. After all, he's been doing this walk since he was just a wee pup.
The one thing I really hate about this walk is all the trash. It's everywhere! Broken glass, used ear-plugs, used chewing gum, cigarette butts, fast food wrappers, etc. Keeley does pretty good with "Leave it!" but he's terrible at "Drop it!". I usually have to remove chewing gum from his mouth at least once on this walk.

Hi Keeley,
What a cool walk! I just get to walk around the same houses in my neighborhood everyday. I am a trash eating junkie too. I love used chewing gum, it is so yummy, but my Mom, like yours gets so mad when I eat it. Here's hoping for a trash free walkie some day!!
Your pal,

What a neat walk, Keeley! Do they hand out free beer?! hehehehe - just kidding!
We find a lot of broken glass at the top of Sleeping Giant and it really makes mom mad to think that some hoomans are so stoopid!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
Humans ay, they have to mess up everything and everywhere. Dogs should take over this planet and make it a better place.
Gotta say though, from the pictures it looks spotless.

You are really brave to fish out the chewing gum!! If Lenny gets gum, I just let him have it! Plus he chomps his teeth down really tightly and tilts his head back to try and swallow whatever he has in his mouth whole, before I can get it out!
