Ashton held onto the leash as he made his way towards the park. He'd taken Peter up finally on his offer to watch Rylee and he decided that today he and Hobo should have some bonding time. Everytime he went to Peters Hobo always gave him the cold shoulder, then again he didnt go to peters all that often and he knew hobo probably thought he was abandoning him. Peter had this problem awhile ago with Bogart, but bogart forgave him and he was hoping Hobo would forgive him too. Ashton knew it would take more then just one time, so he was going to get into a routine for this and as time went things would get easier anyway... he hoped.
Ashton stepped onto the grass heading for the tree towards the back that he liked to take the dogs what felt like eons ago. He wished the ground were more green and there were leaves on the trees but winter was too close and the weather was getting too cold. Today it wasnt so bad and the sun was actually out. There werent many kids there and not in this area since the swing set was further over. He stopped at the tree and turned around so his back was to it before bending his legs and lowering himself to the ground so he was sitting indian style.
Hobo came up to him, sniffing the tree and the ground around him. Ashton moved his hand out to pet her, but she moved away as if she had got a different scent elsewhere on the ground. Sighing he leaned back his brows drawn together some. I said i was sorry.. he said to her. He spotted a piece of root sticking up out of the ground so he took the handle of the leash and hooked it on there testing to make sure it was strong enough. She usually wasnt the type to run off on him so he figured itd be okay. The leash was pretty long, he liked to give her room to roam around and usually he unhooked her, but he didnt want to take his chances today. At least not until he was certain she wouldnt run back to peters because she didnt want to be there with him.
Ashton reached into his pocket pulling out a joint. Hed quit smoking though hed be lying if he said he hadnt had a joint or two here and there when Rylee was at school and he was supposed to be at school. He thought he could have been stronger about all of it with carsons death, but he wasnt and he had needed it. Its been a few weeks now since his last one, though he kept one in his pocket for emergencies. This wasnt an emergency, but hobo not even letting him pet her was getting to him. He tried to think of something else, he didnt want to resort to this anymore. Ashton flipped the joint around in his fingers, kind of zoning out.
