First walk in several days

Finally, finally, it stopped raining. Hogan doesn't even want to walk in a super light drizzle, sheesh! I knew the devil would start sneaking out of him . . .

Anyway, was went on our first mile walk tonight. He was excited at first, but soon became bored. He likes going to new (and possibly shorter) places. He kept trying to take shortcuts on the way back through the fields, but of course we didn't do that.When I was "new" (as well as the places we walked) he was more than thrilled to walk a mile. But now that the neighborhood, not to mention me, is getting "old", he's not quite as excited. He loves new places and pees every 20 seconds or so to mark his territory. There's nothing left after about the fourth or fifth time, but that doesn't stop him! But once he gets to know a territory, the thrill is gone. Typical male!

Here's how he looked after the very long one-mile walk this evening:

"Ma, how could you make me walk so far???"
