Can you believe I am sometimes accused of dawdling?
Recently I overheard Gail express the view that I conduct a "go slow" on morning walks round the park. She even has the theory that I do this deliberately in order to prolong the outing and delay her departure to work.
The words "getting a bit middle-aged" have also been uttered with reference to myself.
To which I answer that it takes one to know one.
I'm shocked Bertie! Doesn't Gail know the value of taking your time and smelling the roses….or the pee mail in our case?

Bertie...remind Gail of the mad dash you made at the train station?!! Slow and easy is best. molmolmol.
ReplyDeleteMom says she knows what Gail means. On the days mom walks our neighbor's dog Kasi, she said Kasi stops to smell every single blade of grass and often stops holds her head up as if catching every breeze.
Happy Friday Hugs Madi your bfff and Mom
Lady says the same thing about us. We are just making sure we have checked everything.
ReplyDeleteAs the oldest male In our family (calculating by any dog v people years method we have seen) I take great pride in my ability to identify any stange scents on our routes, mark my specific territory, and observe traffic patterns and changes daily.
ReplyDeleteThat takes time! And I will not compromise my standards. Remember, we are talking about duty, obligation and responsibility here. Should, ought, must. Tell Gale I said so

Sorry Gail...Muzzer is really old, and not the secretary she used to be, ehrrr, used to have.
DeleteGMAN
Well said Gussie.
Deletehmmmmm that theory has something... I always stretch my walks that way too, but some "roses" oin the street and on the trees deserve 87 sniffs, right? :o)
ReplyDeletepeeps just don't understand the language of smell and that it takes time for the those scents to waft over the nose leaving their messages behind :)

ReplyDeleteStruth Bertie lad, I've seen ya run, and dawdle doesn't come to mind... wonder if time is just shifting faster in Gail's warp as compared to your own??? Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
There's no point in RUSHING through life. Gail needs to take a little time to stop and pee on the roses!
ReplyDeleteWhat nerve of Gail to think such a thing
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
We totally disagree! It takes time to process and log everything we sniff!
