There's nothing worse than a dog that won't go for a walk.
We have a King Charles Cavalier spaniel, called Charlie. He snores very loudly when he sleeps. This is manageable although troublesome, however the "I'm not that sort of dog that you can take for a long walk" attitude is not so easy to cope with. The dog we had previously, Sockie, before she became ill, could definitely be classified as a good walker. She knew Sharjah streets better than we did. Before Sockie, Duchess liked nothing more than a long but gentle stroll around the Green Valley housing compound in Dammam, often on her own. Charlie likes to go out, but regards 50 metres as being his limit, and will then stand still or turn back home. We have various ideas about how to develop him into a marathon walker, but are unlikely to implement then. We go for a walk, he stays at home, this is the new order.
What an interesting conclusion at the end of the short statement. Nowadays, more and more people draw their attention to their pets during their lesiure time. In case that we can talk with our dogs or cats, I cannot extrapolate that what is their first word they would like to say to their masters. Maybe," That's what I've done best!!" is their real response to humans, isn't it?
