Prelude: Lace up those running shoes (you spent a ton on them, so you might as well use them for their intended purpose) and grab the dog harnesses. Don't forget the poop bags!
Act One: The dance begins. (Now for it to work with minimum injury to those involved, both two-legged and four, a working knowledge of your pet's personality, while on a leash, is a necessity. If you are unfamiliar with it, please practice walking with them before attempting to dance.) In your less dominant hand, my left, place the leash of the dog that walks the straightest. He's focused and determined to go as fast as he can and becomes the constant in which your other dog weaves around. In your dominant hand, my right, place the leash of your dog that prances to their own beat. She will require the majority of your attention and the reason the run becomes a dance. Start out at a slow trot to contain the dogs' excitement. They will wander a bit at the beginning and most likely need a quick pit stop. Once bladders are emptied, increase your pace. The dog on your left will be gung-ho ahead while the one on your right is enjoying herself. She starts to weave in and out, thus starting the intricacy of the dance. She slows down, gets behind you and starts to move to the left. In response, you twirl her lease over your head to prevent getting wrapped around the legs. Now in front of you, she drifts back to the right, and your must do the quick step to avoid a disastrous tumble all the while your hands are elegantly exchanging leashes to avoid a tangled mess. Then...ack...
Intermission: A quick, often unplanned stop of one or more dogs for various unexpected circumstances, but most likely one needs to empty the rest of his/her system. This may occur on more than one occasion.
Act Two: Everyone begins again in their original positions, but you have the added pleasure of additional items to juggle between hands. (I recommend placing these additional items in your less dominant hand). Off you go again. Everyone is at a faster pace now as systems are empty. Your left handed dog is still straight as an arrow, his leash only acting as an obstacle in which your right handed dog can prance under and around. She gets going again and you do a leash exchange behind your back, then immediately twirl sideways as both dogs yank backward and left. Doing a cha-cha, you redirect the dogs forward. Performing a final promenade, you reach the end of the dance.
Variations: A variation of this dance could be performed at night as an excellent light show.
