So my mom has had some hours change with her work and as soon as she started working less she and I sat down and had a big talk that went something like "Woo hoo, Duncan, I have more time to go on adventures with you now!"
That was
(ahem, Mom!) ages ago. But I can't complain because we did finally head out on an adventure the other day. See photo below:
At first, I was VEEEERY excited, puppers. In my hiking naivete, I hit the ground running.
Soon enough, we got to this point (see below!) and this is where the wind started to leave my sails, if you know what I mean. And the phrase that started running through my head like a broken record was "Be careful what you wish for, be careful what you wish for, be careful what you wish for ... "
Of course, since I am a studly super dog, I certainly could not be the one to turn around first. So on and on we went ...
Finally, I was panting and slobbering so hard Mom was so exhausted we gave up on our quest to reach the highest peak and headed home. Why does it always seem like it takes so much longer to travel the same path in reverse???
I suppose this could possibly have been one of those times when I was not fooling mom and she knew it was really me who needed to turn around, but in MY mind, Mom was the weenie hiker and I could have reached the top, no problem.
Pee S:
Mom says we have learned from Murphy and Stanley on their Fitness Friday how to exercise safely and we had water with us and she was watching me the whole time so not to worry I was kind of exaggerating the whole panting and slobbering thing just the tiniest bit and was never in any danger or anything.
