A good walk...

Alfred has been very lazy and reluctant on his walks lately. Sometimes refusing to go at all. So this morning I told Mr K that I was worried that Alfred was maybe getting on a bit too much to do the long walk we've got planned for our upcoming holiday, and that we might have to cut it short. Alfred must have heard me, as on our very next walk he was bouncy like a pup and went on and on at a steady pace with minimum pee stops. So I increased the distance and he was happy and willing. Then as we reached home he broke into a sprint. A four hundred metre sprint for which I was unprepared! Okay Alfred, I get the message - a nine mile walk it will be then! :-)
