Simon Takes Me For a Walk

When I go hiking with my dog, (let's get that straight, my husband's dog,) I find that Simon knows no path. He wants to roam about in yards which leaves our neighbors in a flap. This dog has taught me how to jog, he likes to chase both squirrel and frog. I like to stop and catch my breath. Hiking with Simon? very hard until his run is under wraps. He's fairly gentle with young tykes, his boundless love of kids on trikes finds random riders on our street. crossing back and forth, side to side to his delight. He loves to dance. He tucks his tail to show dislikes but says, "Hello!" as leg he hikes at every mailbox that we meet. With friendliness oversupplied, each female dog, he will romance. Back to his barking which is loud to say the least when in a crowd. Behind fences, standing at doors all dogs compete, sharing their yelp and when they tire they share their moan. Jerking his leash is not allowed he slips his head out, looking proud racing away, commands ignored. Efforts to catch will not help; leave him alone, he'll head on home.

Glad you found it amusing, when he was younger, there was no gate in our house that could hold him back...he'd climb, chew and charge on through. Appreciate the comment and the rating.

Sandra, thanks for the comment and congrats. Simon is 14 now and can barely make it up the one step from the yard; but he still can waddle down the street with glee.

They can be stubborn, one of the reasons I love the breed. I like the form you chose. Congrats and thanks for your entry.
