This is Annie. She is Marian's baby girl. Annie is a very laid back kind of gal, she is, therefore, well suited to taking walks with. ( Especially for a slow walker like her grandma here. )
It was much too hot a day for being out but we went anyway. I wanted to see the river that runs close to the housing development Marian and Clarence live in. I didn't think it would be too long a trek....wrong. Well, actually it isn't that long a walk, it just seemed long because of the heat .
As we head home Annie walks down the railroad ties on the side of the trail. That's one well balanced girl!
Makes her grandma' proud!
But , enough is enough...It is too hot to go on . Annie simply stops , drops , and refuses to go any farther. After I plead with her to PLEASE try to walk a little more , and give her leash a few tugs , after all , she is too big to drag or to carry , she reluctantly stands , and we plod on toward home , dreaming of a cold drink of water and the cool of the air conditioning . And , of course , a nap.
Poor Annie and Grandma! :)
ReplyDeleteWe made this walk today. We stayed on the dock for about 30 minutes, so she had some rest there. :) We made it back without any breaks like that one, but once we got home she didn't move from the cool floor for at least an hour. :)
