Carl loved taking his master for a walk. It wasn’t hard to get him motivated. A good solid wag of the tail, a wistful look and a movement toward the front door and the master whom he called Rover was organised.

Carl was always attentive to Rover’s needs and made sure that Rover was always pottied before they left home.

On their walks Carl loved the park. He admired the flowers and the trees rich in blossom. His favourite potty place was just beyond the acacia tree with its bright red blooms. Carl enjoyed sniffling out the right spot to crouch and do his stuff.  All the time Rover looked on patiently, Carl surmising he was thinking about his own potty needs.

Today being sunny, Carl was hoping to see Milly the dachshund who walked her mistress, Spot, in the same park and Carl could feel his nose softening once again for her.

    Having owned a dog or three in my life (once I overcame my early childhood terror of them), I’m thinking this is pretty much close to the truth 🙂
