A Little Brown Dog Takes Two Big Walks

At home I stopped leaving the house to take walks. My Dr. suggested to my Mommy and Daddy that they drive me away from home and I will walk home. They thought it was a trick, but I liked it. Some days I walk a mile, maybe two, but that’s all this old lady can really do.

Today Daddy had work so a mommy asked me if I wanted to go on a walk with her. Yes, I jumped in response. We walked down our little lane and up our hill to the main road. Usually with Daddy this is where I turn him around even thought he wants to go like five miles. Today I pranced on out the main road past the old cemetery and the mussel ridge historical society to the vegetable cart down the road. Then I turned us around. In total I walked about a mile and a half.

This evening after Daddy finished working Mommy and Daddy asked me if I wanted to walk the breakwater. I ran right to the car. We drove to Rockland to the breakwater as the sun was getting low in the sky. Mommy had her sweatshirt around her neck. I, of course had to always lead the pack. If I stopped to smell the situation and Mommy passed me I made sure to go extra fast and get right back in the lead.

It is not hard for me and Daddy to lead as we are faster than Mommy anyway. It turns out that I am now the color of the rocks, but people still see me. Once in a while I had to stop so they could adore me. I got many pets and snuggles One little boy even gave me a kiss.

It took us less than an hour to walk the almost two miles from the car, down the rocks to the light house and back. The tide was getting highland the water was coming close to the rocks. I didn’t mind. I had Daddy if I needed him.

So I walked three and half miles today not counting all the pacing I do in the house looking to find where Daddy is working and going back to report to Mommy that he is still talking on the phone or doing a video with people in little boxes.

Now I am going to pass out and get a big sleep. I hear I get to go to Belfast tomorrow. More walking.
